the cure - the exploding boy

i couldn\'t hear a word you said
i couldn\'t hear at all
you talked until your tongue fell out
and then you talked some more
i knew if i turned
knew if i turned
i\'d turn away from you
and i couldn\'t look back
and i couldn\'t look back

tell yourself we\'ll start again
tell yourself it\'s not the end
tell yourself it couldn\'t happen
not this way
not today~
not today
