I can tell you're leaving You used to bring me things Now you just bring my old things back
- It was a schoolboy's mood You choked on every bone that I threw - So now we're through I used to be your universe - You're not even my Birmingham - Just give me one more chance You treat me like a child - I need a man
Still I can tell it's over You haven't made a bet For the first time since we met
- Your "no" is not so clear So bring those English lips back over here I miss them more with every passing beer - But this is just a kiss goodbye Don't stick it for regret - Your lips like cigarettes Intractable - I'm bad for your health
- Sorrow lines round my eyes Like a prisoner chalking off the days since you left - You're a prisoner of your own misery - Well, you've condemned me to life - You couldn't stand the fight - Now like Merle Haggard you'll see The fighting side of me
- So one last dance They're playing our song, A Lonely Night in Paris - You blew your chance - Give me the moon, the wine, the music, the girl and leave the rest to me - Au revoir, mon chéri - You say you're going but you never leave - You fetishize your grief - Like a clown knows a bozo(?) - Well, I'm past(?) seeing there are more fish in the sea - What?
- The sorrow lines round my eyes Like a prisoner chalking off the days since you left - You're a prisoner of your own misery - 'Cause you've condemned me to life - You couldn't stand the fight - But now like Merle Haggard you'll see The fighting side of me
- I can tell you're leaving - You used to bring me things
