The letter dropped
You left it lost
Or wouldA note was left
Inside your head
For you
The vacant lot
That marks your spot
Is stillWhere nothing moves
And moments marked
Your will
It keeps coming around…
The empty chair
The shadows there
RemainWith blinds pulled down
And prayers cried out
In vain
The silhouette
That set against
The lightShines where eyes
Can't see beyond
The sky
It keeps coming around...

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 backAlthough my odds are stackedI’d be with youI was younger then,
I’ve learnt a thing or two sinceI’m more experiencedBut so are you
In spite of me,
You
always tried to see
The honest guy in meYou thought you knewI wish you’d like to seeThe brand new side of meThat only I can seeBut you should too
And all the things I felt I didn’t want beforeThat I missed when you left meI knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget me
I miss the way
You’d tell me every dayThat you would never strayOr treat me coldBut the mess I madeIt led to changeWe went our separate waysAnd it’s all my fault
I’d let you downGive you the mess aroundSince you I’ve never foundOne better for meRight here and nowI wear the tears of a clownWish you were here in townBut that can’t be
And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe
But I ain’t since I lost youThey told me love just led to heartbreakAnd taught me that one add one makes threeBut I’ve learnt what it can cost you
And it’s strange but it’s trueI didn’t know quite what I neededBut now I’m pretty sure I doBecause I thought it throughTook a look in the mirrorI was just a beginnerI was just a beginner when I met you
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sureAnd I helped you forget meYeah I helped you forget meBut 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

Like a man who’s got nothing left to loseNot a penny but everything to proveLike a man on the edgeWho wishes that she had never left
Running in a circle to tie up ends still looseTryna pull his neck from out the nooseAnd win back her respectBut he’s not looking his best
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
He can’t bare to consider someone newWhiskey and cigarettes won’t see him throughSays that he’s got a planHolding on as tight as he can
She played him for a foolBut he taught her toShe’s only ever happy
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
She was trouble from the very startShe had a knack of tearing hearts apartNo one knows where it endsHe’s tryna not be nobody’s friend
And it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown

I See Lola’s ComingI See Lola’s Coming
On the iceBreaking down winterAnd the snow
I See Lola’s ComingI See Lola’s Coming

On the iceBreaking a new summerAt my door

All night longIn the eye ofA new galaxy

In the morning
Bringing you back homeOn the highway i driveA little bit too slow

Come on look at these planesThey're flying over the rainOver the rain

I stay at home all the dayUnder curfew i feelA little unsteady

But your perfume in the airTakes me far awayOn the roadsAnd over the hills

Come on look at these planesThey're flying over the rainOver the rain

Well don't get any splinters on the floor

When you go down in the hole

Why don't you join people on the lawn

You work full time


Like a mole

All her perfume cameTo me at nightLike a ghostI know the flowers
Grow up with no nameEven the roseWhen the lizard
Dive into the wallI stand against the water

No offence todayI'm fine in the bushes

Staring at you on your knees

I know it's too lateWhen birds wake me upAnd i wonderWhere have you been all my life

You know that i don'tKill spiders anymoreI surrenderTo the big wave from the sea

The day has comeI should go up the sycamoreThe day has comeAnd i hear someone
Knock knockKnocking at the door

No lines on the roadsNo boats on the seaI surrenderTo the big sleep on my tree

The day has comeI should go up the sycamoreThe day has comeAnd i hear someone
Knock knockKnocking at the door

All by myselfIn the kitchen
I cook for strangersComing from the cold nightWaiting for a sunriseOh oh alone in the blue lightShe said: "j'ai bu tout l'eau des rosesAll by myself"And i already see usBreaking down in tears in the nightIn the middle of a fightAnd yet i knowI want to go this way

All through the nightWhen the moon is goneWe are two loversComing from the cold smokeAll pink like pollutionOh oh she smiles in the meantimeAt the sound of the falling roseAll by herselfAnd i already feelLike a boxer lost in my thoughtsCounting all the scars on my glovesAnd yet i knowI want to go this way

And i already see usBreaking down in tears in the nightIn the middle of a fightAnd yet i knowI want to go this way
