The Earthquake (That Was You)
© 2004 Jayme Kelly Curtis

It's been 10 long years since the earthquake that was you
10 long years since you told me we were through
10 long years since you found somebody new
10 long years that I've still been loving you

And I cry
Yes I cry every time
I hear your name

You sunk your teeth into my heart like a wild cat from hell
Sunk your teeth into my heart and you cracked right through my shell
Sunk your teeth into my heart, baby that's how hard I fell
Sunk your teeth into my heart and you shook me till I yelled

And I cry
Yes I cry every time
I hear your name

We spend our whole lives searching for the half that makes us whole
We spend our whole lives searching for the rock that makes us roll
We spend our whole lives searching for the mate to our lost soul
And when we lose our lover don't you know it takes a toll

I wonder do you think of me when the days are wet with rain?
I wonder do you think of me and know it was a shame?
I wonder do you think of me and wonder if I've changed?
I wonder do you think of me and feel that same old flame

Do you cry?
Do you cry every time
You hear my name?
