Song Lyrics

(Steve Wilkinson/Lawrence Corky Lang/John Heaton/William Wallace)

You called me by her name again
Thinking I was her again
When's this ever gonna end, oh

You're living somewhere in the past
Missing love that didn't last
And what we have is fading fast

(Oh...oh/And) this ain't 1999
This is here and now
You are mine
But you're cheatin' on me
You're cheatin' on us
You're cheatin' yourself
Right out of love
You're slipping away
From me unconsciously
And I'm losing you
To some old memory

You're haunted by that ghost in you
She always gets the most of you
Just want to be that close to you

I can't figure out what's wrong
I can't change your mind
But the only thing I know
Is that I'm being left behind
I'm being left behind

(Oh...oh/And) this ain't 1999
This is here and now
You are mine
But you're cheatin' on me
You're cheatin' on us
You're cheatin' yourself
Right out of love
You're slipping away
From me unconsciously
And I'm losing you
To some old memory
