Baby, watch the fire, it's making for the bed
And i don't wanna see you laying in the flames
Being burned and bruised on something they said

Well what's the matter
Are your dreams all shattered and torn?
And do you wanna make a poor girl lose it all?

They say she's strange
Strange, strange, strange, strange
Yeah, she's strange
Strange, strange, strange, strange

Thanks to you she's gone, never said goodbye
And don't be sorry, she'll be better off alone
With the burns and the bruises in another sky

Well what's the matter
Are your dreams all shattered and torn?
And do you wanna make a poor girl lose it all?

You've won now, she's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Yeah, she's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Yeah, she's strange
Strange, strange, strange, strange
Yeah, she's strange
Strange, strange, strange, strange

You thought there was no life left
You forgot that there are stars
You forgot the days and nights
Had just one long hour of dark

But didn't i tell you to
Breathe in
And push it out
And didn't i tell you to
Breathe in
And push it out

I want to teach you how to be sweet
But quite volatile if you need
Everybody'll be scared you'll explode
But you can get to forgive them

Just remember to
Breathe in
And push it out
I said remember to
Breathe in
(breathe in)
And push it out
(push it out)

Ooh, and the common good awaits
I promise you you'll be quite safe
If you unwrap yourself
You've been too long a friend

You thought there was no life left
You forgot that there are stars
You forgot the days and nights
Had just one long hour of dark

But remember to
Breathe in
And push it out
I said remember to
Breathe in
And push it out

Didn't i tell you to
Breathe in
And push it out
Remember to
Breathe in
And push it out

After it all
It's a pain in the gut
Cos we often get up
For a war with each other and now
I've won the last word
Don't know if i can take it back

Oh it pains me to say
I've buried it away
With my pride, oh baby, it's time
To stop you're sobbing
I am not worth it at all

I won't say sorry

I can't say sorry to you baby
If you just look into my eyes you'll see
That i can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It just comes easily

I won't say sorry to you baby
So you can put the blame on me
I can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It's just so easy for me

After it all
I can manage a smile
I pretend for a while
But the razor is still in my throat
I just don't know if i can take it back

Oh it hurts me to say
I've buried it away
It's a chore and baby it's time
To stop you're sobbing
I am not worth it at all

I won't say sorry

I can't say sorry to you baby
If you just look into my eyes you'll see
That i can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It just comes easily

I won't say sorry to you baby
So you can put the blame on me
I can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It's just so easy for me

So take your chance
Love has it's disguises
Is there calm under the waves?
Who knows? love is full of surprises

I won't say sorry

I won't say sorry

I can't say sorry to you baby
If you just look into my eyes you'll see
That i can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It just comes easily

I won't say sorry to you baby
So you can put the blame on me
I can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It's just so easy for me

I can't say sorry to you baby
So you can put the blame on me
I can't say sorry to you babe
I'm a heartbreaker
It's just so easy
It's just so easy
It's just so easy for me

This still life is all i ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you

In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights
I'll go into the night, into the night
He and i into the night

Is this still life all i'm good for too?
There by the window quietly killed for you
And they drive by like insects do
They think they don't know me
They hired a car for you

To go into the night, into the night
He and i into the night

And this still life is all i ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
And this still life is all i ever do

But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life
But it's still, still life

If we are absolutely still
Then maybe the world will stop
And the time will spin around us
On the outside of us
Hidden from the day
To be reckless again
I will wait for you
I will reach into your light
(and carry you to mine)

It's never enough
(never enough)
I am a prisoner
(desperate touch)
Is never enough garden for my love

Oh my eagerness lets me fall
Oh only you can reveal it all

If we are absolutely still
(absolutely still)
So maybe the world will stop
And the time will spin around us
On the outside of us
Hidden from the day
To be reckless again
I will lay with you
Love you like i do
I will read your lips
I await your fingertips

It's never enough
(never enough)
I am a prisoner
(desperate touch)
Is never enough garden for my love
It's never enough
(never enough)
So love me
(desperate touch)
Is never enough
(aah, love me)
It's never enough

Desperate touch
Desperately see my heart is open up wide
Desperately see i've got nowhere to hide
It's never enough
Desperately see my heart is open up wide
Desperately see i've got nowhere to hide
(repeat to fade)

Getting wrecked, the cross she bears
It's in her eyes, just don't go there if you want to be her friend
In a full room she plays with herself
Would you like to take her on ?
She fights hard for a girl, you know

And she says, i don't need no sympathy from you
No need to analyse
What's respect in a world
Of the lying leads the blind
Give me nothing, i want nothing
I won't miss you when you're gone
Take it all away, take it all away
Strip it all away
Bare and alone, i choose
You're not my muse

What's your definition of wild?
The things i've endured
All the years i've struggled
Tell me, of it's unflawed on the outside
Is it unaffected inside?

And she says, i don't need no sympathy from you
No need to analyse
What's respect in a world
Of the lying leads the blind
Give me nothing, i want nothing
I won't miss you when you're gone
Take it all away, take it all away
Strip it all away
Bare and alone, i choose
You're not my muse

What did you want from me?
Did you think i was easy baby?
Did you think i would be in awe?
What did you think of me?
Did you think i was easy baby?

And she says, i don't need no sympathy from you
No need to analyse
What's respect in a world
Of the lying leads the blind
Give me nothing, i want nothing
I won't miss you when you're gone
Take it all away, take it all away
Strip it all away
Bare and alone, i choose
You're not my muse

Take it all away, take it all away
Strip it all away
Bare and alone, i choose
You're not my muse

We started out so good
There was nothing like the two of us
Yeah we understood
That loving each other is
Starting with foundations
That we're building to last
But you were not ready
Yeah, you were unsteady
And it's all come to head

Now i feel
All lost i got no home
I feel all alone
In the house that we built
No bricks
It's got no stones
You took all the love out
Of the house that we built
No guts
It's got no bones
I feel so alone
In the house that we built
No heart
It's got no soul
It's falling down and down

We started off so strong
Two lovers playing house
Like when the kids are gone
Loving each other it got you scared
How could you go and throw it away?
Cos i gave you everything, everything
Until you put it all to bed

Now i feel
All lost i got no home
I feel all alone
In the house that we built
No bricks
It's got no stones
You took all the love out
Of the house that we built
No guts
It's got no bones
I feel so alone now
In the house that we built
No heart
It's got no soul
It's falling down and down

And i feel
All lost i got no home
I feel all alone
In the house that we built
No bricks
It's got no stones
You took all the love out
Of the house that we built
No guts
It's got no bones
I feel so alone now
In the house that we built
No heart
It's got no soul
It's falling down and down

Now i feel
All lost i got no home
I feel all alone
In the house that we built
No bricks
It's got no stones
You took all the love out
Of the house that we built
No guts
It's got no bones
I feel so alone now
In the house that we built
No heart
It's got no soul
It's falling down and down

I gave you sympathy
I gave you apathy
I gave you honesty
I gave you all of me
It's valentine's day
And what did i buy you?
I wrapped up all the love we had
And threw it in your face
Coz you deserved it
And i'm not sorry
You don't know if you want me forever
And i can't handle it, no
So i'm losing my appetite quite quickly
Are you surprised?
This love is a lie
I gave you everything
But i wonder what you wanted
It was never enough and i think
That you like to believe
I was with someone else
But the show was fun while it lasted, yeah
You thought you couldn't lose
Till you thought you slept with an angel
But the angel, i couldn't do
And you deserved it
And i'm not sorry
You don't know if you want me forever
And i can't handle it, no
So i'm losing my appetite quite quickly
Are you surprised?
This love is a lie
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(ah)
So i'm giving you nothing
Coz nothing's all i got left
Now you're bringing me down, down, down
(down)
Shame really that it never got off the ground
(well here am i, a little nurse to your ego)
But you deserved it
And i'm not sorry
You don't know if you want me forever
And i can't handle it, no
So i'm losing my appetite quite quickly
Are you surprised?
This love is a lie
Oooh this love is a lie

Tell me what you would prefer
Adaffodil or a diamond
It don't matter if you say the latter,
No!
It's like if you were given the sun
You'd take the moon
And something you wanted so badly
Suddenly ain't so cool
If i were you i'd choose
A daffodil, not a diamond
And save 'em up,
For a rainy day, rainy day
It's just a day away
And you may have the last one of its kind
(aah, oooo ooooo)
Oh yes you might
So when they come to buy
Your last precious flower
On the server
A million diamonds they will pay
And you'll tell 'em no way, no way
That's right
Don't exchange a daffodil for a diamond
Just save 'em up
For a rainy day, rainy day
It's just a day away
And you may have the last one of its kind
(aah, oooo ooooo)
The end of the world turns to dust
Fairy dust
What a pretty gravestone it would make
And you'd live under some other bright sun
Yeah, that's a good one
(oooh oooh)
Just save 'em up
For a rainy day, rainy day
It's just a day away
And you may have the last one of its kind
Save 'em up
For a rainy day, rainy day
It's just a day away
And you may have the last one of its kind
(aah, oooh oooh)
You know it, baby

We have got to stop fighting
We have got to learn to get along
We have got to know for a relationship in heaven
We've got to tame the devils on our tongue

Oh it gets harder every time
But we've both crossed the invisible line
It feels like we're on two different planets
We're broken, who's gonna fix us?
And put us back together again

So let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

Yeah let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

We have got to stop fighting
And put our ammunition to one side
We have got to understand exploding isn't ever
Gonna close the gap between us it's too wide

Oh it gets harder everyday
We spit back at each other and say
"it feels like we're on two different planets."
But when all the damage is done
It's too late to be sorry

So let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

Yeah let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

So yeah, let's get some understanding
Just take a deep big breath and say
"you can forget all the words i said
Keep them far away
Cos they don't mean what i meant
And now they're gone anyway."

So let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

Yeah let's push it all aside
Take a swallow of pride
And realise that
Nothing could be sweeter
Than loving each other
If we forget who was wrong
And who's right

That other girl got you on that string
When she calls you, you forget and you drop everything
Well don't go denying and baby it's the truth and you know
That other girl wears a see through vest,
And you say that you see nothing 'cause it's not in your interest
Well don't go denying baby, cause you've been looking
I know

(and i've found that it's hard to stand my ground)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, she's been getting all your attention)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, it's been getting me down)
And she's been sneaking into you, and i worry about her intentions
That other girl's been hanging around

That other girl she calls you her friend
When she's been hypnotising you too meet her ends
And you don't have to be avoiding me, 'cause it's the truth and you know
That other girl got you in her line
But you're just another stud in her femmebelt baby, so i wouldn't waste your time
And don't get so excited, 'cause she's been working
I know

(and i've found that it's hard to stand my ground)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, she's been getting all your attention)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, it's been getting me down)
Yeah she's been sneaking into you, and i worry about her intentions
That other girl's been hanging around

When we go out at night
And she's there i keep my fist tight
I wouldn't want to explode, no no
So then why, why when we kiss (why)
Do i feel her lips have been there before me
Hey hey

(and i've found that it's hard to stand my ground)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, she's been getting all your attention)
That other girl's been hanging around
(and i've found, it's been getting me down)
And she's been sneaking into you, and i worry about her intentions
That other girl's been hanging around

Yes now i know i've found it's hard to stand my ground
(just another stud in her femmebelt baby)
And i've found she's been sneaking into you
(just another stud in her femmebelt baby)
(just another stud in her femmebelt baby)
So i wouldn't waste your time
You're just another another stud in a fembealt baby
(just another stud in her femmebelt baby)
So i wouldn't waste your time
(just another stud in her femmebelt baby)
That other girls been hanging around
