lyrics

Here lies a story straight from my mind.
A tale about a love that's not hard to find.
But it cuts deep.
The penalty's crushing, harder, tearing me in two.

Oh, no, won't you see what I've done?
Lost myself in obsession and fun.
Wore my heart on my sleeve, but a chip on my shoulder
Colder than the look you through my way.
Nothing to say.

Now I'm near defeat, the whole of the world's put on their dancing feet
And so the rhythms get etched in my mind, left their footprints but left me behind.
Now I'm on my own, it's after midnight, walk home all alone
But still that memory fills me with grace,
Wraps me up, lifts me out of this place.

Oh, no. Won't you see what I've done?
Lost myself in the presence of one.
Is it hurting you too?
Do you feel empty? Plenty of others thought they knew.

Now I'm near defeat, the whole of the world's put on their dancing feet
And so the rhythms get etched in my mind, left their footprints but left me behind.
Now I'm on my own, it's after midnight, walk home all alone
But still that memory fills me with grace,
Wraps me up, lifts me out of this place.

Wore my heart on my sleeve, but a chip on my shoulder
Colder than the look you through my way.
Nothing to say.
