The Partridge Family - As Long As You're There LYRICS

I can take your pictures off my wall,
And tell myself that I don't care at all,
I can make believe I'm better off without you,
I can build a wall
I can fool myself,
But that won't help at all

You see the problem is deep within my heart,
And the memory is to blame
And I won't really be the same,
As long as you're there

I tore up all your letters I had saved,
As if that would make my loneliness go away,
Then I spent the day picking up the little pieces,
Just to read again
All about the way you loved me way back when,

You see the problem is deep within my heart,
And the memory is to blame
And I won't really be the same,
As long as you're there

You see the problem is deep within my heart,
And the memory is to blame
And I won't really be the same,
As long as you're there

I'm light and gay with friends who come to call,
I've learned to hold my tears that were meant to fall,
Then late at night your face appears before me,
Like a cannon ball,
And I know that I've learned nothing after all

You see the problem is deep within my heart,
And the memory is to blame
And I won't really be the same,
As long as you're there
