| [00:10.96] |
She was once mine |
| [00:13.56] |
That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that |
| [00:18.25] |
stuck inside the Sunday Times |
| [00:22.09] |
She was so sweet on Christmas Eve |
| [00:27.63] |
With the snow set deep, |
| [00:29.79] |
when we went walking through the pines |
| [00:33.26] |
I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived |
| [00:38.07] |
And the new year would see her flying far away from me |
| [00:43.06] |
Though I didn't know it at the time |
| [00:48.19] |
|
| [00:56.13] |
With outstretched hands |
| [00:58.85] |
Now she commands |
| [01:01.71] |
A famous figure for every picture |
| [01:07.62] |
And she stands up strong and she demands |
| [01:13.11] |
And they deliver |
| [01:15.75] |
Yeah, she's a fixture |
| [01:18.69] |
|
| [01:19.00] |
And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that |
| [01:23.73] |
I might feel, should she appear |
| [01:26.55] |
Just like it hasn't been three years |
| [01:30.39] |
And there's a distance to her voice over |
| [01:34.04] |
the phone and that's because she stands alone |
| [01:38.63] |
While I'm still sitting here |
| [01:41.80] |
|
| [01:45.19] |
Girl, you see me here on another quiet night |
| [01:49.67] |
I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives |
| [01:57.54] |
I'll decide where the light's even and bright |
| [02:00.96] |
Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly, |
| [02:05.58] |
just gliding softly by |
| [02:10.47] |
|
| [02:11.10] |
And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees |
| [02:15.73] |
some Christmas Eve some god was kind enough to set aside |
| [02:21.98] |
Although I'd love you to, I'm proud of you |
| [02:25.42] |
God knows I'm feeling really stupid now |
| [02:30.10] |
For having ever said goodbye |
| [02:33.78] |
|
| [02:42.56] |
During the fight |
| [02:45.38] |
I said, "Yeah right" |
| [02:48.50] |
When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write |
| [02:53.70] |
Now, I know you're working hard so |
| [02:56.57] |
I never hear from you, and that's fine |
| [03:01.03] |
You look the same on TV as when you were mine |
| [03:07.74] |
I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control |
| [03:19.98] |
I watch you from the distance, |
| [03:25.75] |
you go walking through the terminal |
| [03:31.97] |
I remember ever instance, when you stung me |
| [03:40.27] |
Oh, you're so lovely |
| [03:43.08] |
Oh, you're so smart |
| [03:45.92] |
|
| [03:49.03] |
So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, |
| [03:52.51] |
go break their hearts |
| [03:58.14] |
Go break their hearts |
| [04:03.40] |
Baby, break their hearts |
| [04:08.84] |
And I know you will |
| [04:20.73] |
|
