This is my attempt at transcribing the lyrics of It Can Never Be The Same. This is from the excellent video posted by forest , which I believe is from the Houston show on May 14th 2016. If I am wrong please correct me! There are a couple of lines that I just can't get - feel free to help me out here! Although I suspect that Mr Smith may not be entirely sure of these himself .....
Don’t worry, I smiled I’ll miss you but it’s not like you’re gone Don’t worry, I smiled It’s not like there won’t be another one And we laughed about last year The songs we sang, the games we played The way we danced all night Don’t worry, I smiled We’ll do all those things again, next time
And I kiss you So soft, so pale and so cold And the words are left unsaid But we know, we always know
I can sing, I can dance, I can laugh As if nothing ever changed But always, without you It can never be the same It can never be the same
It can never be the same
Don’t worry, I smiled I’ll miss you, but it’s not like you’re gone Don’t worry, I smiled It’s not like there won’t be another one
There won’t be another one However long I wait There won’t be another one It will always be too late There won’t be another one We won't do it all the same There won’t be another one Without you It can never be the same It can never be the same It can never be the same
Talk, dance, laugh As if nothing ever changed And without you It can never be the same
Robert seems to break down and cry most times when he sings this song. I read a comment on FB speculating that the song was about his mom who died. Can anyone confirm?
Looks like tears... That is a cracking video, would love a flac of it. It's interesting hunting for the cleanest sounding version, this has it... For now...
