LOVE WITHOUT PAROLE

By David Snyder

V1

Yesterday we were eighteen, I can smell that summer rain
I still miss your breathless kiss, and how your sweetness felt like pain
And yeah,  I remember you, and when I do, I feel in debt, but no regrets
So how come you're the thing that hurts me 
the most when I look back
why would a loving Universe make a heart that works like that   

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 

V2

They say the man upstairs
Always has a plan
But the way he makes our hearts
I just don’t understand
One day the world is young
Next day the world is old
One day your heart’s on fire
Next day it’s all gone cold

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 
to me,  oh oh  
this love without parole 
this love without parole
is killing me
