She left before she’d even walked inShe must’ve seen that id been drinkingShe used to stand alone at the bar back thenIt’s good to understand who you are
She used to be the talk of the townI had her down as nobody’s clownYou’d question why she wasn’t with him, butShe weren’t the type you’d make wait around
You’d give a bit of somethingShe’d fill you up with nothing(And) somehow, you’d still feel you were freeShe’d let you fall in too deep
She made me in ways that others haven’tAnd played me, somehow while this happenedShe’d still save meCrying while I’m laughing again
She'd let you hang on every last wordAnd act as if it’s safe when it weren’tShe’d sit you at the front of the class andShe'd act like she’s surprised you ain’t passed
She'd give a little somethingAnd act as if it’s nothingAnd somehow you’d be happy it’s freeHow could it happen to me?

I remember when I knew where I was goingI recall a time I felt I’d lost my wayAnd now I’m stuck between the twoAnd it’s all because of youFor leaving me as I’d just started growing
There were weeks on end the clouds weren’t in the skyThere were times when we were stuck out in the rainMemories good and bad have been and goneI’ll cherish each and every single oneI remember when all we knew was still worth knowing
And I’d love to say with certainty that this wasn’t for the worstAnd I'm struggling to put it in to wordsI can’t lie that it’s been hurting meThat you cant see what its worthAnd you left just when I needed it to work
I remember when the world was at our feetAnd I look back to when we thought wed lost it allI was a story of success
Now I'm barely existing at bestI remember when I knew where I was going

(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 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

Sitting on my ownWaiting for your callNo one else to phoneI miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I die
You left me in the coldIt rained outside your homeHow was I to knowI’d miss youI miss you
I wish that you were nearBut you're there with him, not hereI’m all out of tears
I miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I dieAnd I love the wayYou look todayYou do it every timeSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mine

We lived the dream
And the air was as clean as it could beMy heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
My love for you

blossomed all through the yearI could picture us together, close when you weren’t near
And we were as happy as could beAnd we were laughing contently
My heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
But in truth I’m never gonna have the strength toTalk to you, what if you don’t want me to?
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?

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

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

Lost on the highwaySomebody waved to me« i’m Mia i’m lost again yeah »

Come onDrink up all the tea girlI wait with you‘til you warm up your feet
I wait

Gone on the highwaySo far away from homeOh miaShe fell asleep yeah

Please don’t
Worry about the weatherYou’re safe and warmUnder lullabies lightnings

I know
Somewhere in the rainSomebody waits for youBut Mia it’s understoodIs gone

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
