I met you in a bar in 2003; we started going out immediately. I thought it would be fun, thought it would be easy; didn’t realise you were a maniac.
I’ve been locked inside your garage for 33 nights; it’s been cold, it’s been peaceful without the fights. But I want to move on, too, and I want to be free; not think about us constantly.
I’m so far behind, I wanna shooting star. Wouldn’t women be sweet if they could die of broken hearts?
You hid me in the forest, and you hid me in the cellar; you’re trying to move on and find a new fella. But I want to move on, too, and I want to move away; I left for France at three the very next day.
I’m so far behind, I wanna shooting star. Wouldn’t women be sweet if they could die of broken hearts?
I was well on my way, speeding ’cross the land, when I saw my face emblazoned on a newspaper stand. All I wanted was to travel, to be left alone, but you were using satellites to track me with my phone.
I’m so far behind, I wanna shooting star. Wouldn’t women be sweet if they could die of broken hearts?
So I stopped, and laid my bags and my bed down. I started digging in the earth at the side of the road – made my new house an underground abode.
In my house I’ve got everything I’ve owned thus far: I’ve got a fridge and a telly and my dream guitar, every time I pick it up and play this song, I smile to myself to know that you’re long gone. You’ll make some other man’s life a misery, but I don’t care as long as it’s not me.
I’m so far behind, I wanna shooting star. Wouldn’t women be sweet if they could die of broken hearts?
