Feels like I've lost my grip on life
Caught a landslide, nothing is real
You say I'm not what my clothes say
I know it anyway, you don't have to tell me
Why can't you just hold me
I'm feeling empty
I'm gonna need some reassurance
Break things to me gently
Catch me, please
I think I'm falling down
First wage, as distant as old age
Turning a new page is so hard to do
Your smile, soft as a lullaby
Whispering goodbye, lulling me through
I know what you're thinking
You see me alone
And naturally something's wrong
But I'd be so happy
If you didn't ask me
If there's anything you can do
You don't know anything about me
You think you got me all worked out
And while you waste your breath on anything
I'm learning more than you can stand
And when you discover
What you thought was love
Was insecurity and lust
In the fields where you've planted
Your hopes and your trust
I'll show you a handful of dust
Stop trying to explain
It's not the kind of thing that
You can find excuses for
I'd rather try to just forget about it
You'll only tell me things that
I don't want to hear
Listen
I've said you're forgiven
There's nothing to discuss
That's enough
I won't make a fuss
So just listen for once
If it ever happens again
I won't ask you the where or when
If it ever happens again
It'll be the end
I suppose I could have stopped you
You're not a saint
I should have seen it coming on
Oh, but what am I saying
I just don't want to think about it anymore
If it ever happens again
There won't be time for your demands
If it ever happens again
I mean it, it'll be the end
Six weeks gone and not a word
This means the end
I never should have held up hope
I know you don't want to encourage me
For that's the worst thing that you could do
And now I'm waiting for the winter
Hoping for the rain
I wanna just forget you
And start my life again
Waiting for the winter
Hoping for the rain
I never wanna see you
Ever again
I shiver and recall the way you sighed
The day we said goodbye
With your relief you couldn't hide
And I know you'll forget about
The things that I despair about
They never meant a thing to you
I am tired
I am empty
I am older
My temper is shorter
I am changing
I am harder
I am bitter
To the bone
And now I'm waiting for the winter
Hoping for the rain
I gotta just forget you
And start my life again
Waiting for the winter
Hoping for the rain
I never wanna see you
Ever again
Everywhere I see your face (here)
Everywhere I can't escape (it)
Got to wait until the winter
Until it's blurred, it's gone away
Well that's quite a funny line
And I can guess where you've heard it
You're spending a lot of time with them these days
I know I'm not the girl you knew when we met
I think to much and I don't laugh enough
But I can see, I can see, I can see
The things that you must need
And the failings in me
I have dreamed, I have dreamed, I have dreamed
Every dream you dream
And I know just how it feels
To need to breath
Don't pretend to be excited to see me
When I know you'd rather run with your new friends
And did you just forget to mention that she'd be here
I bet you love it when she laughs and says you're fun
I can charm and I can smile
And tell you what a love you are
I can give and I can flirt
I'm just like a proper girl
In the end I just agreed with him
It was useless making scenes
And if it could have been anyone
Then of course it would be me
He has gone because he wanted to
He was stronger than I thought
He has gone because he hated it
I was wrong and I got caught
When he said that nothing happens here
Seemed like something just to say
How could I turn round and say to him
How I loved this perfect day
Drinking wine behind the tower block
With someone you really like
Doesn't mean that they're in love with you
Just because you've known them half your life
Suddenly I was part of everything
The moment I heard you saying my name
My world was aflame
All the things that I may have dreamed of
Before that day are not now important
And this is what you've meant
When you touch someone you love
Hoping that love is still good enough
And I wanna tell you everything I'm feeling
And I need you to say it's alright
When nothing is right
I wanna tear this whole event to pieces
And I need you to put it together
Or kill it forever
Staring out of the last train home
And watching all the town lights passing me by
And out there is life
Looking round to a feeling in your face
Just a smile to say that nothing has changed
When so much has changed
When you touch someone you love
Knowing that love is just not enough
Do you think that there is something
There must be something you don't understand
Maybe there is really nothing
And maybe there's no one up there at all
It could be empty or it could go deep
Deeper than anything you can conceive
You wonder how and you wonder why
And then you get on with your life
Where's there's error they bring truth
And when there's doubt then they will bring faith
Where there's poverty and fear
They look away and it disappears
You think it's fun, you think it's fun
But there is nothing you could have done
You get your vote and when you've lost
Then you go back to your job
Don't smile at me because it doesn't change a thing
It isn't gonna make me happy just like that
And don't shrug your shoulders to say it doesn't matter
'cause I assure you that it matters quite a bit to me
Don't tell me to try to control myself
Don't tell me that there's been no one else
What kind of fool do you think I am?
Maybe you ought to try it
Somehow I don't think you'd like it
What do you think it's like for me?
You really can't see
How can you say that she means nothing
when you're still the one she turns to
everytime she's feeling down?
I would love to live my life
I'd love to say that boy is mine
But how can I when she's always there inside?
Saying you love me (don't tell me to try to control myself)
Doesn't change it (don't tell me that there's been no one else)
You can't have me (what kind of fool do you think I am?)
Just like that
You should try it (Maybe you ought to try it)
You won't like it (Somehow I don't think you'd like it)
But if you love her (What do you think it's like for me?)
Let her see
You really can't see
