lyrics

You say I'm blind but I clearly see
all the mix signals that you rush past me
It might be such a while ago
all the missing pieces are now starting to show
Now I think the time has come
End a competition that no ones won
Time to shut it down.. and move on

Did you ever think that you'd be alone
living in a house that you can't call home
just wish I could take it all back
opposites don't even attract
I wear my heart on my sleeve
it tells me never to believe
pick up my keys.. and then I leave

I know you've had it rough. But now I've have had enough.......

Chorus:
Oh, Oh, Oh - you don't seem to understand
Oh, Oh, Oh - I'm not gonna be that man
The lies, the secrets, that things that I know
Your touch, your love, now where did that go
If I needed you here you wouldn't show

Never swallowed such a bitter pill
Never felt so good that it made me ill
Could you count cause I've lost track
I was going forwards, you were going back
We had the piece of mind
Dreaming that it would be fine
The clocks just died.. we're out of time

Had I known this was just a game
I would of known I was one to blame
Hold back or call it a day
Take those plans of mine and put them at bay
You no Mercedes you're no Rolls Royce
I'm pretty sure you had a choice
but you didn't listen to your own voice

I know you've had it rough. But now I've had enough.

Chorus.

"Couple of years had gone by. One day I saw you crossing the streets. We caught eyes and I said hello. You looked and then pretended I wasn't really there. You then started to walk a bit faster. And I must admit I was surprised. You headed towards the bus station. Me, I just stood there, like a mug, whilst asking myself... why can't she still let go of it?"

Chorus (x2)

Oh, Oh, Oh - you wouldn't show

Had enough....
