Nothing Takes the Place of Loving You
Eternal Yearning: Stonewall's Melody of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I've tried everything that I could think of
I have attempted every possible solution that came to mind
Went out and bought some things I've wanted to
I went out and acquired things I desired
Spent money for a while like it's going out of style
I spent money recklessly for a period as if it were going out of fashion
Nothing takes the place of loving you
Despite my efforts, nothing can replace the experience of loving you
I looked for consolation in the barrooms like too many broken hearted do
I sought solace in bars, a common refuge for the broken-hearted
I drank a full grop down but every night I found
I consumed a significant amount of alcohol, but each night I discovered
Nothing takes the place of loving you
Regardless of my actions, nothing can substitute the feeling of loving you
Nothing takes the place of holding your soft hands in mine
Nothing can replace the sensation of holding your tender hands in mine
Empty glasses only leave me blue
Empty glasses only deepen my feelings of sadness
Where your sweet lips used to be there's just a taste of wine
Where your sweet lips once were, there's now only the taste of wine
And nothing takes the place of loving you
Despite these attempts, nothing can take the place of loving you

[Instrumental break]
I thought that I could find someone to help me
I believed I could find someone to assist me in moving on
Now I can't find the girls I've run through
Now, I can't locate the women I've been with
But after every fling I find the same old thing nothing takes the place of loving you
After every fleeting relationship, I encounter the same realization that nothing replaces the love I had for you
Nothing takes the place of holding...
Nothing can replace the sensation of holding...
Nothing takes the place of loving you
Despite all attempts, nothing takes the place of loving you
