| I've got eyes in the back of my head and I see | |
| where you're going with this. | |
| I'm not surprised. | |
| You take me for a fool and maybe you're right. | |
| If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here tonight. | |
| You sold yourself, | |
| you'll never learn and here I am watching the (summer fading) | |
| summer we shared fade away with the winter. | |
| Your hands were warm on my face, | |
| now they're cold and pushing away (slowly away) | |
| they are colder than ice and they are slowly pushing me away. | |
| I knew it right from the start. | |
| I've got this big, big hole in my heart. | |
| I wanted to put you in, | |
| but for some reason you just wouldn't fit. | |
| Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails, | |
| but if the wind fails, is there hope for me? | |
| I thought your love was as safe as the promise you made. | |
| (I guess your love was only as safe as the promise you made) | |
| (Now I am drowning in your shallow sea, | |
| I swear, you are the waves that toss me away. | |
| How can I float above the water that fills my lungs, | |
| killing me softly without a word.) | |
| You are the storm, | |
| the wind and the waves that break me in two and toss me away. | |
| I fell apart when I fell for you. | |
| You are the water filling my lungs, killing me softly without a word. |
