(You) told me not to callBuilt yourself a wallI’d always thought you knew the scoreBut you don’t seem to anymore
And I sold my soulYou’d turned it coldDespite what you may sayI know one day I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
You said you’d never change your mindYou were far too scared to tryYou shouted at me through the tears“We’ve been friends for far too many years”
And I fell for youAnd you felt it tooAnd that I won’t forgetMy life I’d bet, I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
And though I know
It’s gonna take some timeFor you to agreeAnd see, it’s the truthYou’ll say I weren’t scared before ‘cosIf there was one thing I was sure of, I knewI’d get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these days….

You took all I’d hoped for and wantedI wasn’t even treated to goodbyeBefore you went you came you saw you conqueredAnd I’ve got nothing left but a memory of your best
I tried to tell you that I loved youYou struggled hard for a replyI should’ve known my words had never really touched you
Despite yours always seeming to relate to mine
Your words cut me deep left me struggling to sleep
Compared to the content the tone didn’t matterYou lied through your teeth as I was struggling to speakDespite our wicked past I’d still happily have you
You taught me a thing or two about heartbreakMore than I was ever meant to learnYou’d have a habit of pulling me down until I cant ache, no moreAnd when that happened you’d let me burn
Your traits good and bad are the most exciting that I haveEver witnessed heard of or acknowledgedI wish I was mad for the fact you hurt me badThat just isn’t me if I’m being honest
I wish I was stronger than I have beenI wish you saw my weakness as a strengthI wish you’d have somehow just been happy with me for being meI wish I didn’t miss youI wish I could resist youI wish I didn’t wish this wouldn’t end

If I could act

And make the clocks go back
Although my odds are stacked
I’d be with you
I was younger then,

I’ve learnt a thing or two since
I’m more experienced
But so are you

In spite of me,

You
always tried to see

The honest guy in me
You thought you knew
I wish you’d like to see
The brand new side of me
That only I can see
But you should too

And all the things I felt I didn’t want before
That I missed when you left me
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me

I miss the way

You’d tell me every day
That you would never stray
Or treat me cold
But the mess I made
It led to change
We went our separate ways
And it’s all my fault

I’d let you down
Give you the mess around
Since you I’ve never found
One better for me
Right here and now
I wear the tears of a clown
Wish you were here in town
But that can’t be

And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe

But I ain’t since I lost you
They told me love just led to heartbreak
And taught me that one add one makes three
But I’ve learnt what it can cost you

And it’s strange but it’s true
I didn’t know quite what I needed
But now I’m pretty sure I do
Because I thought it through
Took a look in the mirror
I was just a beginner
I was just a beginner when I met you

I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me
Yeah I helped you forget me
But it’s your fault,

You let me

Flashbacks of girlfriends pastThe way her mouth moved when she laughedIt’s easy to feel sadI swear it never hurt that badAnd I don’t know whyAnd I’m not sure how
I’ve been living the dreamAnd now she claims it set her backShe broke the rules she wroteI sent her letter back ‘cos I’m fineAnd I don’t know whyBut it’s alright now
She said her pet hate was a cheatI packed her bags and watched her leaveAnd head for the station
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t around
She’s so not in the know
She said she’d never let me goThen left me in the coldAnd everyone who knows us knowsThat it weren’t quite right
I’d worked out in my head
That all the plans we’d made were doneShe slept round and she creptShe’d always said it looked like funAnd I loved her liesBut I caught her outShe claimed it must be make believeAnd ripped my heart from off my sleeveAnd I’m not even sure that it mattersLately
I still retain my common senseI’ve heard she’s tired of sitting on the fenceMaking promises she’d never keepBreaking promises she made to me
Lately it’s like I do what I want to
And maybe it’s ‘cos she’s not there to stop me doThe things she said would bring her downIt wasn’t simple ‘til she weren’t aroundLatelyLatelyLately
