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

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

Be it as it may we are alone
Found ourselves in trouble on the telephone
Having sweet talk with another

When you overheard
Found ourselves making up
Before we'd learnt

Say it to me you don't believe it's true
We can be ourselves even when we're on the move
Tell me straight if you believe the same
Or you're not allowed *show me

We are playing
At being strangers

How are we to keep it from your family
There'll be trouble when we tell them and they disagree
They can put the squeeze on the way we feel
Wrap it up and make us a raw deal

Pre-hook
*tell me

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus x 2

Night let my heart alone
Sirens they come and go

I can't understand
Can't understand

How you feel
The way that you look
Way that you look
Cold as steel

First come your silent eyes
I'm lost in your private eyes

Where did your love

Where did your love

Go to now
I can't understand
Can't understand

How you feel

Do what you want but you know that I won't lie still
The sooner you leave me the smaller the hole to fill
Do what you want but you know that I won't lie still
The sooner you leave me the smaller the hole to fill

Do what you want but you know that I won't lie still
don't play games
The sooner you leave me the smaller the hole to fill
no mistake
Do what you want but you know that I won't lie still
don't play games
The sooner you leave me the smaller the hole to fill
no mistake

Where did your love

Where did your love

Go to now
The way that you look
Way that you look

Cold as steel

Where did your love

Where did your love

Go to now

Any place you go
Sooner hit the road
Listen to the world
Closing in on you
Marking out your way
Territory made
Which way to the hills
Time to feel the change

I won't be your ambulance anymore
I won't be the one to explain
I won't be your ambulance anymore
I won't be the one to explain

Feeling like a stone
Waiting for my turn
Hollowed out inside
No more left to learn
Fear gets in the way
Lemon in your veins

It started like a forest fire
Held us in the grip of desire
Burned out too soon

Never crossed my mind that I could loose you
I turned my back

You disappeared from sight

Don't wanna be your latest mistake
Don't wanna be the next heart to break
Don't
wanna wake
up wishing it all away

God knows what a fool I've been
Trusted my heart with a dream
Fell back so hard

Should've seen it right from the start
I was standing tall
And now I'm on my knees

I have tried -
I still try

To make it seem like rainbows and silver linings
I still read -
I still write
Into magazines
Does anyone listen - anyone

Cause it's like
Nobody can hear the crying through the walls
Cause nobody answers
And I'm like
Am I the only person breathing in the air
Does nobody else care

I have tried -
I have made
Multicoloured pictures of our lives
We've seen some times - like the day

Those waterfalls were falling before our eyes
Does anyone see - anyone

I am sane
I am just like you
Underneath what you see
We're alike

We are similar
And we're older than our years

Given hope
Minutes too late
To hold onto
So sorry to waste
Slowly we fade

In our lives

We are underneath
Only inches away
On the surface
We seem regular
If you only spend the time

We're alike

We are similar
And we're older
Than our years
