Why'd I move to Brisbane Town? Because of a maiden fair
Things not right in Adelaide, I should've stayed right there
We were good for a little while, although the flight was cold
Setting up in Brisbane town, with you I wanna grow old

You were always on my mind
I found it hard to leave behind
Any decision that I make...

Then things started going astray, same issues in our lives
Planning you a special day, I kept it as a big surprise
But the night it fell apart in my hands, it ended up just me
The tears I cried were long and hard, for us I thought I'd grieved

You were always on my mind
I found it hard to leave behind
Any decision that I make
Can't just be based on...

We parted ways the very next day, her sorrow was intense
Was it the thought of losing me or the timing of events
So next I did some hurtful things, so cold I was to you
I didn't understand the hurt you felt, the pain you were going through

You were always on my mind
I found it hard to leave behind
Any decision that I make
Can't just be left to...

How can someone change so much, this woman you've come to be
Now everyone else can enjoy your spark, the rest of the world not me
And finally you were over me, another guy you've found
And when you broke that news to me, my heart it hit the ground
So I drank and smoked and screamed and cried, my insides began to tear
I don't know how I'd have gone without my mexican teddy bear

You were always on my mind
I found it hard to leave behind
Any decision that I make
Can't just rely on....

Decided to stay in Brisbane town, friendship was my thought
Sleepless nights and pain filled days, I sought mary for support
No income now I've lost my job, more problems on the scene
I never even see you no more, it's time to start plan B
So now I'm down in Melbourne town, music is my life
I've said goodbye to Brisbane town, and all of that trouble and strife

You were always on my mind
I found it hard to leave behind
Any decision that I make
Can't just be based on fate.
