Took you two years to win my heart Then two words to break it The love you ignited, You firefighted and roared Ellowing into the rainy night
They say heartbreak is good for the skin But all that it's helped is my drinking Picking fights with myself and my friends And my friends threatening to do me in
Took you two years to win my heart Then two words to break it More surprising than two years of lying Is how people let you get away with it
Saturday sleep-ins with no distractions Summer sun and songbirds Once kept afloat on a venetian boat Blotted out by your two words
Mighty leon, wind the tape And be sure of one thing Every song from a heart this mangled Will be draped in strings, strings, strings
