The hours pass so slowly now that he's gone one day is like another but they move on Somehow I have returned to the land of the living but badly burned I never had the chance of keeping him here The song of sirens was to strong in his ear And when tomorrow calls Who would pace like a prisoner within four walls
Just like that He slipped into my life As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that He took a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on In a way I was the one to deceive Always accepting the fact he would leave Just like that As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned
And when the day is new the sun in the sky Who needs the confrontation saying good-bye Who needs that kind of strain When you're born with an instinct to shun such pain
Just like that He slipped into my life As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that He took a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on In a way I was the one to deceive Always accepting the fact he would leave Just like that As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned
