On the phone you spoke Picking bones with my friends and lovers You said, ‘I think you’re living in a bubble, darling’ So, I thought it through and thought That maybe you could be on to something After all, we all have our little blind spots, don't we? So I looked, I took a good look around me, darling And we stepped, we took a good step away from familiar humdrum Such unforgettable and truly magical times
Stop! There I go again, like a fool, trying to paint the perfect picture It’s easy to romanticise when you’re in the distance, darling But it wasn’t easy was it, I mean, you never really seemed truly happy There I was, drunk in love and drowning on a daydream, daily As you stripped, you stripped me away like paint work, darling And you picked, you picked me apart and left me in a million pieces No need to sympathise, but try to realise this:
You’re making yourself so lonely, darling It’s making me feel so lonesome to know Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.
So, looking back now it’s funny how I really had the blinkers on me Like a firework, free falling, ’til I hit the concrete floor Where my friends picked me back up and held me, darling It was them and the family who really got me back to hear the music I hope you got the same and cut out your love games, 'cause
You’re making yourself so lonely, darling It’s making me feel so lonesome to know Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.
You’re making yourself so lonely, darling It’s making me feel so lonesome to know Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.
Yes, it’s obvious, well I shouldn’t really need to say this, but, The truth is that I miss you.
