Benjamin Songtext
von Melody Moko

We were lovers ′til the final curtain call
We said goodbye and you promised you would call
Five years later and you've never even tried
I guess I never cross your mind
Still think about you when I fly to my hometown
I know your number but I′m not reaching out
Once I drove past the house we used to live
I guess it's harder to forget than to forgive

Somewhere on a lemon tree there's your name and mine
It′s gonna stay there ′til the end of time
You're not my story but you wrote a lot of lines
Wouldn′t be the woman I was meant to be
Without the man who wasn't meant for me


I never treated you the way that I was taught
I always wanted to but I kept falling short
I was a wild thing who never could be tamed
But I loved you in my own funny way
I know it broke you when I closed the final door
I hated how you cried and left my things out on the lawn
I missed your mother and I know that she missed me
I bet she thinks of me on Christmas Eve

Somewhere on a lemon tree there′s your name and mine
It's gonna stay there ′til the end of time
You're not my story but you wrote a lot of lines
Wouldn't be the woman I was meant to be
Without the man who wasn′t meant for me

I had a baby with a quiet gentle man
He fixes things and he works with his hands
Sometimes he reminds me a little bit of you
Hope you found someone that means that much to you

Somewhere on a lemon tree there′s your name and mine
It's gonna stay there ′til the end of time
You're not my story but you wrote a lot of lines
Wouldn′t be the woman I was meant to be
Without the man who wasn't meant for me
Without the man who wasn′t meant for me
