Viewing lyrics for Jessie by David Matheson.

Jessie, you’re still on the go and your heart’s still seventeen
You have shaken apart all the things that we had
All the love songs we sang just seem so sad and
Jessie, I still lie awake wondering where you might have been
Paint your face for a trip to the grocery store
Did you find what you need? Lie to me some more
While I come apart inside
What is it you’ve got to hide
I can’t believe that I’m still hanging on
To the dream that we had but it looks like it’s gone

Jessie, out there on the town, do you ever think of me?
In the warm embrace of another man
Does he love you really? Do you think he can?
Jessie, do you sleep at nite , does your conscience let you be?
This double life you live is gonna reveal
the lies that you give, tell me, how does it feel?
While I come apart inside
What is it you’ve got to hide?
I can’t believe that I’m still hanging on
To the dream that we had but it looks like it’s gone
