Every day I watch my mirror
Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years
Missed chances
Forgotten romances
Starting now to loosen with the tears
I could fall in love
Any time, any place, any where
But I spent last night
Treading on valentines
Treading on valentines
You know it didn't mean a thing
I didn't make me give two damns
You know I thought I'd never fall in love
It only worked in films
Response, responsibilities, bravery, hardship
Giving up and giving too
Here's little things I think I mean
Some consequence to you
I'll never get the chance again
Faces heartbreakingly wonderful
All flash by me
Steaming neon's in the rain
Diamonds down the memory drain
But you inspire me, fuel and fire me
Never leave me
Or deceive me
We could sit out winter evenings
Laughing over Love and Little White Lies
Sit out winter evenings
Laughing over Love and Little White Lies
Bitter coffee
Stomach aching
Pass the time while our hearts are breaking
I've got faith in you
So don't you have faith in me?
Misted mornings
Damp in sorrow
Love me just the same tomorrow
Something blue and something borrowed
And a bruise inside of me
I'm drunk on your delivery
Intoxicated by your eyes
Got to find an antidote
Before we say goodbye
Car wrecks and romantic moons
With you and I the stars
We're somewhere in a midnight movie
Somewhere off afar
There's no ice cream in the interval
No sweets or cigarettes
Just you and I
And a cast of thousands
Trying to forget
We could sit singing songs for suckers
Blacked out with hymns of pain and sorrow
Oh kiss me once before you go
I may be dust tomorrow
Every day I watch my mirror
Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years
Missed chances
Forgotten romances
Starting now to loosen with the tears
My heart is pulsing brilliant red
And you know red's a colour for sin and danger
Ready now to take my chance
With any handy stranger
People will always
Love and Love and Love and Love and Love
But what the hell
We fool each other
When we've suffered through enough
But you inspire me
Fuel and fire me
Never leave me
Or deceive me
We could sit out winter evenings
Laughing over Love and Little White Lies
Sit out winter evenings
Laughing over Love and Little White Lies
Oh can't you feel my heart
Can't you feel my heart
You, unbelievably small
Bang your hands on the wall
Say "To Hell with them all"
Say "To Heaven with you"
Me, what will become of me?
Wading into the sea
Water way past my knees
Swallowing oceans is my speciality
You, like a trembling bird
Hanging on to each word
Crawling out of my sight
Oh how spite makes might
Me, crass stupidity's pawn
Kept us shouting till dawn
Old memories torn
Wishing I'd never been born
(You're losing it, losing it, losing it)
And you, Jack of Diamonds maybe
But the Ace ever me
With each turn of the card
Ever hardening heart
Me, smiling one moment
Crying the next
Building up to explosions
That leave me shipwrecked
You, stubborn brazen and wild
Unpredictable child
Emotional blackmail
Always destined to fail
(You're a failure in love, you're a failure in love)
Me, saying things I regret
I don't want to stop yet
Got to make you break down
Got to make you break uncontrollably down
You, rhinoceros skin
Never, never give in
Never, never giving
Hurts so to see me win
(You're always unforgivably stubborn)
Me, yes a cancer you tell
With the softest of shells
Always ending the same
Taking all of the blame
I'm taking all of the blame
(This is the last time
This is the last time)
Traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas
