Split
He lives his life in a world full of women
And he takes what he wants from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life
So she leaves him and she finds someone else, falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's OK
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again
They left me here on my own in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive anymore
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish that I could say
And now it's just too late
To wish me back again
Tiny children on their own they learn so fast
How to make new friends, how to play their new games
I remember a man he had shiny hair
Always hanging aroung when you went away
Little eight year old she knows too many secrets
Much too young to understand what it means
I remember a woman with silver hair
And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared
And that's how I behaved
Every time that you went away
And now, though I'm older nothings changed
(playing the same games)
And I knew every day
Came a day that you'd leave me
So I found what I could to take your place
Told me not to cry
Said that I'd survive
As he waved goodbye
And I want to try
Not to make you cry
Want us to survive
Never say goodbye
But that's how I behavewhen you go away
Because though I'm older nothing's changed
(playing the same games)
And I know every day
There's a chance that you'll leave me
So I find what I can to take your place
I'm not interested in what you have to say
You're just a vacant space
Other people's lives upon which you pray
It's a permanent disgrace
Why do you think you know what's best for me
What I should and shouldn't do
Why do you judge my history
And tell me to improve
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't
In finding fault in others
I can't see
What you have to gain
I know that you get pleasure from
Other peoples pain
You're not so perfectand I realise the scene
That you're all coming from
When you say you care
I know what you mean
You're really lying
All the people around here
Love to hear about a fall
They all surface and disappear
In an instant
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't
A silly girl
I run around and never know my reasons
And though you're laughing with me
I know what you say about me
I can't explain, it's not your business anyway
So don't say, you understand
And don't pretend you're on my side
And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him
I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse to me
You hypocrite don't talk to me
'Cause you're not fit to know me
So don't pretend
That you could've ever been a friend
And still I'm sure you think it's ok
What you've done to me
'Cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie
I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie
The silly girls we run around and never know the reasons
And though I understand
I guess I'll say that you betrayed me
I'm a hypocrite
I dish it out but I can't take it
I know you think it's wrong
And maybe you're right but this is my song
And still I'm sure you think it's ok
What she did to me 'cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile
I know our kind and I know where our loyalties lie
You are the one
In your concrete arms I adore you
Dirty and dear
Block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
We blow around like tiny leaves in a big storm
Finding there's nothing left to breathe or to keep warm
You ebb and flow and your rhythm beats my head
Leave me alone while you swallow up your dead
You are the one
You cradle me and kill
Caressing my face
Leave me undone
You suffocate and have me
This is the place
Every door conceals a deam and a nightmare
Nothing is ever really pure in the stale air
And when it's dark everything becomes more clear
Lie in the park when I want to have you near
You are the one
In your concrete arms I adore you
Dusty and dear
Block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
Left it unsung
I shall leave but I'll return
Poison my lungs, my blood is full of lead
Things unsaid
My love for you still burns
It's raining in this room
And it's so hot outside this room
I don't know no one here
I don't want to be here
In this room
We hold parties in our sleep
We fill ourselves up in our sleep
And I'll heal you when your ill
Though it's hard keeping still
In our sleep
Prise the hair out of her mouth
Whilst the circus in heading south
While we search in the sand
Don't ask them to understand
Why they cover up their hands
And their mouths
Oooh
Outside you are waiting for me, hiding
You catch me when I am
Needing a friend to hold
You can soothe me, lie above me
Press hard
Then you strike
And I think that I'll die
'Cause I can't breathe can't breathe
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Oooh please let me start screaming
Eyes are open seeing nothing
Hands are tied and I can't function
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
So you want to be alone
Run and hide inside your home
Watch you fall away from me
Sinking into misery
Taste your smile and hold my hand
Make you laugh and make you dance
I remember this
Everything was in our kiss
Sink my hands into the sea
Reach your fingers up to me
Trust me one more time
I can only try
Throw yourself to me
And I'll try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free
Only children sometimes comprehend
Loneliness can often be a friend
Have to shut yourself in
Don't know how to begin
Telling it to someone who doesn't fit in
I am sunken in biology
I cannot control that part of me
I don't want to hurt you
But I know I will do
Maybe we could find out
What are we to do
I don't have long fingernails to use
Would we care if we were black and blue?
We're both sick but still you hold my hand
We're together but I understand
Walk along the seaside
This is not a joyride
Tell me in the meantime
It's ok
You feel like I do
Like the whole worlds forgotten you
And your life is so dull and predictable
Your room seems like a cell
And you don't sleep very well
And your friends only talk to point and to mock
And to ridicule
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer
I promise, it's alright
His words don't flatter me
And they're printed for all to see
I don't care, he's not there
It's all history
The future's yours to hold
And you're really not very old
And your life is so white, so clean and so bright
And holds mystery
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer
I promise, it's alright
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
Walking at midnight
In the darkness, alone
Standing in the shadows
And I'm watching your glow
Standing in the red light
And I'm smiling at you
Dreaming of the starlight
Just waiting for you
I'll do anything to
Make you mine, make me shine
Take me if you want me
I don't care, I don't mind
I want your starlight
Make it mine, make me shine
Touch me with your light
And I'll burn like a star
If you walked in now
I wouldn't start, I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
'Cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid you're hear to stay
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hands
She says she hears your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
I don't look up, I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there, I only stare
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are, is what it seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'Cause when I die, die
I'll see you again
