I Wasn't Being Heartless When I Said Your Favourite Song Lacked Heart

Believe it,

When I said the things I say aren't true,

When I knock on the door with ten roses

Out of the blue then

You have a right to be confused

Fingers

Crunched beneath my feet

Tied a thread to the old door then slammed it shut

And you lost your baby teeth

My resolutions,

Fail when they're new

Light a match in the dark and it'll be burning

and I'll find my way back to you

But till then,

I'll be smothering the flames

Waitin up, against the rain

smothering the flames

Waiting up against the rain

Footsteps,

Stomp beneath your skirt

You hate to wear but have to

'Cos you had to go to work

A downpour, like water down the drain,

Under the thunder of your Mornings

That never seem to change

I'll be smothering the flames

Waitin up, against the rain

smothering the flames

Waiting up against the rain

And I always knew we'd die,

Trying our best not to

Smothering the flames

In the dancehall out with you

I wasn't being heartless,

When I said your favourite song lacked heart

I wasn't being heartless,

When I said your favourite song lacked heart

I wasn't being heartless,

When I said your favourite song lacked heart

I wasn't being heartless,

When I said your favourite song lacked heart

(Wasn't being heartless, when I said your favourite song lacked, haaaart)

smothering the flames

Waitin up, against the rain

smothering the flames

Waiting up against the rain

smothering the flames

Waitin up, against the rain

smothering the flames

Waiting up against the rain
