Lyrics

[00:16.580] In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
[00:19.220] I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
[00:22.230] Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
[00:24.220] World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
[00:31.510] Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
[00:35.80] I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
[00:38.220] The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
[00:40.580] We can even have an open relationship, if you must
[00:43.550]
[00:43.550] But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
[00:45.850] back at meI look at her she stares almost straight
[00:46.230] Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
[00:49.290] When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet
[00:52.240] Dry your eyes mate
[00:54.540] I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
[00:59.420] There's plenty more fish in the sea
[01:04.250] Dry your eyes mate
[01:06.420] I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
[01:11.280] But you've got to walk away now
[01:14.840] It's over
[01:16.100] So then I move my hand up from down by my side
[01:18.280] It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes
[01:22.310] Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
[01:25.130] Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
[01:27.750] 'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
[01:31.190] There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
[01:34.550] It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
[01:37.170] Please, please, I beg you please
[01:40.350] She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
[01:42.229] She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
[01:48.520] She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
[01:50.330] By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers
[01:52.580] Dry your eyes mate
[01:54.460] I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
[02:00.390] There's plenty more fish in the sea
[02:04.200] Dry your eyes mate
[02:06.330] I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
[02:11.910] But you've got to walk away now
[02:14.670] It's over
[02:17.100] Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
[02:26.30] But the more I pull on your hand and say
[02:36.180] The more you pull away
[02:36.180] She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
[02:40.400] Dry your eyes mate
[02:42.329] Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
[02:42.450] I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
[02:43.950] Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
[02:45.850] Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away
[02:47.410] Dry your eyes mate
[02:48.600] There's plenty more fish in the sea
[02:52.240] Dry your eyes mate
[02:53.290] I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
[02:54.420] I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
[02:55.100] There's plenty more fish in the sea
[02:56.120] Dry your eyes mate
[02:56.740] I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
[02:59.350] But you've got to walk away now
[03:00.530] But you've got to walk away now.
[03:03.90]
[03:08.520] It's over
[03:09.80] I know in the past I've found it hard to say
[03:10.580] Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight
