Simply Red

Don't know why I still slept on my side of the bed
The emptiness when you were gone
Kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid

So I tore up your letters
Took your picture off the wall
I deleted your number
It was too hard not to call
And then I told myself that I would be fine
Gotta live for the good times

'Cause everywhere I go there's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong I'm still not over you
'Cause I still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me
Our time is over
But I'm so not over you

All my friends tried to tell me
That I'd find somebody new
Why waste time being lonely
When there's nothing left to loose
Anything to get you out of my mind
I'm a fool if I thought I could forget
And I could not forget

'Cause everywhere I go there's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong I'm still not over you
'Cause I still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me
Our time is over
But I'm so not over you

Now I found a way to keep you there beside me
To where my love for you cannot be denied
I can only hope to keep you there to guide me
There's no more need to hide from all this pain inside

'Cause everywhere I go there's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong I'm still not over you
'Cause I still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me
Our time is over
But I'm so not over you

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
