WHEREVER I GO The smell of wasted time Like cheap table wine Comes from someplace dark I thought I’d left The emptiness I feared Has since reappeared Tired of feeling sorry for myself I can run and hide But I’m still me inside I take myself wherever I go I don’t like all I see But forgive and let it be I take myself wherever I go The taste of his cologne In my sleep I moan Something special slipped through my fingertips I wake up from the dream Sad yet now relieved I’ve forgotten the shape of his lips REPEAT CHORUS I can’t fight mistakes I’ve made I try again and again Remembering each with brand new pain Let them wash over me as night fades to day REPEAT CHORUS ©Ricki E.
