Last Night's Song

One night in December I looked up at your window

The candles had been put in place

Couldn't believe what you said there to me

When there's somebody else in your face.

You held out your hands and you made your demands

With the cuts upon each of your wrists

And I tried to explain that you'd do just the same over each of the times that we missed.

But your eyes are like fire inside of your head

I'm turning away but you beg me to stay here instead

The hallway is empty around half past three

The streets are all silent in sleep

I crawl out the room when she's living in dreams

But I know none of them are of me

When I'm not there I'm alone with my fears

Your arms are round somebody else

And I know you don't mean it, but I can't believe it

And nothing will make any sense

So I'm saying goodbye

The clock on the wall has been broken for days

And time is no more in your room

People pass by but they won't stop and call

And that won't be changing too soon

But when she calls my name all my thoughts are the same

I can't get her out of my head

And this bitter display is just tearing my senses away

So why have you said

That it's only the way you feel in your room?

You pray that no-one sees us together too soon

No-one can love you, so no-one can leave you

No-one can trust you, but I still believe now that

You'll wrap me up in your fingers to answer your call

And I can't think at all
