Lyrics

I have attempted to print the lyrics to the songs here, but it's pretty much impossible to get everything! Of course without any official wording this relies on hearing and memory, notoriously unreliable! If you can contribute to any of the part complete/incomplete lyrics, or spot any corrections, please let me know - all the uncertain stuff is in square brackets, or just a line with a "?" where I'm completely stumped!

Anima Sola

He was the only son who wouldn't stay
Barely 21 when he went away

Anima Sola keeps me wired
If I grow cold I should grow tired
But I'll get to Mexico before I die

He was the only son who couldn't lie
Just like a setting sun without the sky

Anima Sola keeps me wired
If I grow cold I should grow tired
If I grow cold I will get tired
But I'll get to Mexico before I die

Anima Sola keeps me wired
If I grow cold I should grow tired
But I'll get to Mexico before I die

Boy

How am I to tell that it's over baby? Please
I try to understand
Nothing lasts forever if you had it all you'd leave
I try to understand

But it's not that easy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

But it's not that easy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand

How am I to tell that it's over baby? Please
I try to understand
Nothing lasts forever if you had it all you'd leave
I held her in my hands
Nothing had been planned [?]

Boy, don't you leave me
I try to understand

But it's not that easy
Don't you leave me
I try to understand
But it's not that easy
Please believe me

How am I to tell that it's over
[?]
And nobody else could ever know
No (No, No, No, No)

Baby Please
Baby Please
Don't you leave

Cold Fingers
(by The Webb Brothers, from 'Beyond The Biosphere', 1999)

Cold Fingers
[?] from ceilings
I can't help but feeling ashamed
Of you

Pop singers
And sellers of hobby
Who meet in the lobby
It's all
Whenever we know we must do

If I ever had a habit to break it's you

Left-wingers
And paranoid cynics
Retreat to the clinics
It's all
For you

Dead ringers
A probable outcome
I think you should have some
For who
Whoever had last laughs on you

If I ever had a habit to break it's you
If I ever had a habit to break it's you
If I ever had a habit to break it's you

Cowgirl In The Sand
(by Neil Young, from 'Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere', 1999)

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place at your command
Can I stay here for a while
Can I see your sweet sweet smile
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band begun to rust
After all the sin we've had
I was hopin' that we'd turn back
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello woman of my dreams
This is not the way it seems
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

Crazy In Love
(by Beyonce Knowles, from 'Dangerously In Love', 2003)

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Cos I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no

When I talk to my friends so quietly (who'd he think he is?)
Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat the my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this
I've been playing myself, baby I don't care
Cos your love's got the best of me
And baby you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
Cos baby you got me, you got me, you got me

Got me looking so crazy right now
Your love's got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love
Looking so crazy in love's got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Delphina's Song

Love, what am I to do?
Decided to fight it, got beat up

Heart, what have I to lose?
Decided to fight it, got beat up

And you tried so hard
And I tried so hard

My girl my girl I don't need it
I am lost, somewhere in your eyes

Sweet songs and flowers in her hair
Making me blow my mind

And you tried so hard
And I tried so hard

Don't Give Up The Fight

She's the kind of girl that looked like she had it all
And then everything started to fall
She turned and she said well

Nothing you do could ever be seen to turn me on
Then everybody started to know
She turned and she said to me

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight
I saw you dancing tonight

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight
I saw you dancing tonight

She's the kind of girl that looked like she had it all
And then everything started to fall
She turned and she said to me

I look in your eyes and honey I can see nothing at all

Then everybody started to know
She turned and she looked at me and she said

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight
I saw you dancing tonight

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight
I saw you dancing tonight

Baby, baby please
Don't give up the fight
I saw, I saw, I saw

Every Time

Every time I look into your eyes
I look away and smile

I believe that everything you do

There's this love that keeps on pushing me afar
It's like I don't know who you are my love

To find out who I am

Every time I look into your eyes

Forever Lost

Darling, what you gonna do now?
Now that you've noticed it all went wrong
I've been, I've been thinking
That you don't know me any more

Don't let the sun be the one to change you baby
I wanna learn how to lie
If I'm to know cos I wanna go where the people go
Cos I'm forever lost

Darling, what you gonna say now?
Now that you've noticed it all went wrong
Looks like I'm driving my friends all crazy
Oh they think that they don't know me any more

Don't let the sun be the one to change you baby
I wanna learn how to lie
If i'm to know cos I wanna go where the people go
Cos I'm forever lost
Oh and I'm forever lost

Looks like it all went wrong

Gone Are The Days

Gone are the days, the nights
The hands that held the life
The life that I had tried to find
I must be losing my mind
Every time

Gone are the fears, the falls
The hands against the walls
The hands that held me every night
I must be losing my mind
Every time

And since I met you
I've had no reason to hide
And since I left you
I've had no reasons to fight
Why?

Gone are the fears, the falls
The hands against the walls
The hands that held me every night
I must be losing my mind
Every time

And since I met you
I've had no reason to hide
And since I left you
I've had no reasons to fight
Why?

Gone are the days, the nights
The hands that held the life
The life that I had tried to find
I must be losing my mind
Every time
I must be losing my mind

Hotel Praise

Tell me old man that I tried to leave it alone
But the wheels on my back kept pushing me back on the road
Free as I know there's a word that everyone takes
I got [?] too tired to the story on my face

Hotel Praise
Hotel Praise
As the boat docks in it'll all begin once again

And the lies I've told to the people I've known throughout
They don't seem to lie to good with me now
And the charm [?] but the money ran out in style
But I drink to forget even I was once a child

Hotel Praise
Hotel Praise
As the boat docks in it'll all begin once again
Hotel Praise
Hotel Praise
Where the tap they drip where the clock should tick all day

There's a light down the alley there's an old wishbone
As the light fades gently [?] left alone
And the night [?] what you wish for
There's a hole in your hand [?]
[?] turn to stone
And the night [?] what you wish for

Hotel Praise
Hotel Praise
As the boat docks in it'll all begin once again
Hotel Praise
Hotel Praise
Where the tap they drip where the clock should tick all day

Hymn For Her

As I wandered past through the old grey house
And the children laughed for they'd found me out
And the silly things I do when I'm around you
Make for wanting to believe that I have found you

And if Sunday rain
And if Sunday rain
And if Sunday rain
I don't wanna know
Just like I won't forget your face when I
Wake to find you here

Oh my lover won't you get away?
Love or loathe I need to feel again

It won't hurt to find love in the wrong place
I've been hurt before but all the scars have rearranged
It won't hurt to choose the path that we all walk alone

Oh my lord I I pray for just one day
Love or loathe I need to feel again

It won't hurt to find love in the wrong place
I've been hurt before but all the scars have rearranged
It won't hurt to choose the path that we all walk alone

And you love and you love and it never dies
Oh, when you love and you love and it never lies
Oh, and you love and you love and it never dies
Oh, when you love and you love and it never lies

Hymn for her
Hymn for her
Hymn for her
Hymn for her

It won't hurt to find love in the wrong place
I've been hurt before but all the scars have rearranged
It won't hurt to find love in the wrong place
I've been hurt before but all the scars have rearranged
It won't hurt to choose the path that we all walk alone

Oh my lord I pray for just one day
Love or loathe I need to feel again

Idea Of A Feeling

I may of had an idea of a feeling
But it disappeared just as I was reaching
Now I think of all the nights i spent drinking
And of all my nights [of grey?]
What if all my nights were [grey?]

Oh, there's a [?] in the hall
And I give everything just to know if you're looking at [?]

Oh, but don't forget to leave at least your heartaches
And I've been trying to cry
Oh, I've been a fool but i'm trying
And now all my nights are grey
What if all your nights were grey?

Oh, there's a [?] in the hall
And I give everything just to know if you're looking at [?]

I See You You See Me

I never wanted to love you, but that's okay
I always knew that you'd leave me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me
I asked the boys if they'd let me go out and play
They always said that you'd hurt me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me

And it's alright, I never thought I'd fall in love again
It's alright, I look to you as my only friend
It's alright I never thought that I could feel this something, rising rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

I never thought that you wanted for me to stay
So I left you with the girls that came your way
And darling when I see you I see me
I often thought that you'd be better off left alone
Why throw a circle round a man with broken bones?
But darling when I see you I see me

But it's alright, I never thought I'd fall in love again
It's alright, I look to you as my only friend
It's alright I never thought that I could feel this something, rising rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

You always looked like you had something else on your mind
When I try to tell you you tell me never mind
And darling when I see you, you see me
I wanna tell you that I never loved anyone else
You wanna tell me that you're better off by yourself
But darling when I see you, you see me

Oh-ooh ooh oh-ooh...

This is not what I'm like, this is not what I do
This is not what I'm like, I think i'm falling for you
This is not what I'm like, this is not what I do
This is not what I'm like, I think i'm falling for you
This is not what I'm like, this is not what I do
This is not what I'm like, I think i'm falling for you
This is not what I'm like, this is not what I do
This is not what I'm like, I think i'm falling for you

I never thought

I never thought that I could feel this something
Rising rising in my veins, and it looks like
I feel this something rising rising in my veins

I Shall Be Released
(by Bob Dylan, from 'Before The Flood', 1974)

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Love's A Game

Oh maybe I think maybe I don't, maybe I will maybe I won't
Find my way this time I hear you calling me [?]

One of these days, some of these days and somebody pays
It happens all the time, I'll be living believing you wanted me to

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
Maybe I should have tried to lead this time
I'm that honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean? Oh did you mean?

Love is just a game, broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie, happens all the time
Swear I know this much true

Oh and they coloured you up, coloured you down and coloured you in
And I've been waiting so long to take you home

Oh maybe I think maybe I don't, maybe I will maybe I won't
Find my way tonight I hear you calling me [?]

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
Maybe I should have tried to lead this time
I'm that honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Oh did you mean? Oh did you mean?

Love is just a game, broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie, happens all the time
Swear I know this much true

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
Maybe I should have tried to lead this time
I'm that honest mistakes that you made

Never Let Her Slip Away
(by Andrew Gold, from 'All This And Heaven Too', 1993)

I talked to my baby on the telephone
Long distance
I never would've guessed
I could miss someone so bad
I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush
On a school date
I feel like the lead in "Romeo & Juliet"
I'm a little bit dizzy
I'm a little bit scared
I guess I never felt this much aware
That I'd love her
I'm hoping that I'll never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

Mmmmmm I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away
Oh I know it's gonna make me happy
To never let her slip away

Oh Sister I don't mean you no harm
Love it lies away

The sun, the sun that shines a light just mine

Hang on, listen, hang on listen

Oh Sister I don't mean you no harm
Love it lies away
Oh Sister I don't mean you no harm
Love it lies away

Sing A Song For You
(by Tim Buckley, from 'Happy Sad', 1969)

In my heart is where I long for you
In my smile I search for you
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
My silly way, just too young to know any more

In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere
Until I find peace in this world
I’ll sing a song everywhere I can
Just too young to know any more

The wind covers me cold
The starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
Oh, the psalms they love to hear

So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
One I’ve known so very long
Oh, please could you find the time

Slow Down

Stop Fighting Your Way

Stop fighting your way
Out of this paper bag
Stop tying your face
To someone else's legs

For they'll only drag you down girl
They'll only be around girl
Until you fall

But they'll only recognise girl
That the tears are in your eyes girl
When it's too late

Stop fighting your way
Into that evening dress
Stop chasing these bees
From out of someone's nest

For they'll only drag you down girl
They'll only be around girl
Until you fall

Stop telling your friends
Just how much you need them
Stop letting your guard down
Whenever you see them

For they'll only drag you down girl
They'll only be around girl
Until you fall

For it only drags you down girl
It only drags you down girl
Cos it only drags you down girl
It only drags you down girl

The Beard

There's a bar in every hallway
There's a moon in every sun
There's a lot of people dancing on the line

But I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mine

Well there's a bar in every hallway
There's a moon in every sun
There's a lot of people dancing on the line

But I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mi-ne

Well there's a bar in every hallway
There's a moon in every sun
There's a lot of people dancing on the line

Well I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mine

Well I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mi-ne

1-2-3-4
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Well there's a bar in every hallway
There's a moon in every sun
There's a lot of people dancing on the line

Well I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mine

Well I'll get up and I'll get down
I'll get halfway through this town
In another world, you'll see this light of mi-ne

The More You Never

The Mule

How many times must you call me in the morning before I wake?
And how many times must I look at other girls before we break?
And how many times must you criticise every single thing that you do?
Before you...

Before you let me know
Before you let me go
You really should have known

And I'm a no-good gambling man with the wrong hand
Who's been hurt so many times
Why don't you look him in the eye?
Oh you won't see nothing at all

And how many times must I stumble in drunk before you scold me?
Oh and why is it you have to turn out all the lights before you hold me?
And how many years of fears and falls that broke my balls
Oh I guess you never told me

But before you let me know
Before you let me go
You really should have known

That i'm a no-good used-up bruised-up f'ed-up boy
Who gets beat up just by looking at you
I'm a lonely soul lost every single thing I ever did own
But I never owned you

Go on and look him in the eye
Oh you just might see him cry
Oh you just might see him smile

One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
One more drink and I'll be fine
One more girl to take you off my mind
One more girl and I'll be fine
One more drink to take you off my mind

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
(by The Smiths, from 'The Queen Is Dead', 1993)

Take me out tonight
Where there's music
And there's people
Who are young and alive

Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask
And then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask

Take me out tonight
Take me out tonight
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because I haven’t got one
I haven’t got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light
There is a light
There is a light
There is a light

These Days
(by Nico, from 'Chelsea Girl', 1994)

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking

These days, these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling

These days, these days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another

These days, these days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long
La la la la la, la la

I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming

These days, these days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

This Love

Through the gates of lying she left
Through the years I wept
Lying face-down in the ground
I can't hold you now

Why did I choose to refuse you it's not that I used you
I left when I should have believed that I couldn't come on
But you never let go
Or at least I think so

And if all that I've got are these tears
Will sun come up and rid me of darkness again?
Throw my hands up

Why did I choose to refuse you it's not that I used you
And all of my words were withheld and unheard I did fall
But you never let go
Or at least I think so

Oooh, since you know that I'm here
Oooh, since you know that I'm here

And if all I want is a room with you
To break down the windows and pull you through
If all I see is an empty sky
Push you out from the snow

I don't want to know
I don't want to know
It's all that I had
I don't want to know

This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up
This love, this heart, this is waking up

This love, maybe we can learn
This love, maybe we can learn
This love, maybe we can learn
This love

Travelling Souls

Everybody's at the side of the road
We belong to the subway station we know
Ah, the travelling souls

Everybody's at the side of the road
We belong to the railway station we know
Ah, we're travelling souls

Everybody's at the side of the road
We belong to the railway station we know
Ah, we're travelling souls

I've been walking with my head held high
To keep my wondering why
[?] never tried
Don't ask why

Everybody at the side of the road
Everybody at the side of the road

Try

Gotta keep hold of this here feeling
I gotta keep hold of this here feeling
I've gotta keep hold of this here feeling
Oh

Loneliness don't come around here
I've boarded up all the doors
There's nothing to give no more

I recall
A time when I knew it all
I wish someone done me wrong
So I could then do no wrong

But if you try to keep moving on
And it seems like it's always so hard
But if you left me
Darling I know I'll be found

And if you leave me don't you let me know
"It's alright"

Maybe I had too little love to realise
All that I try to give
could never, ever, ever be enough

But if you try to keep moving on
And it seems it always so hard
But if you left me
Darling I know I'll be find
Oh and if you left me

And if you try
Oh and if you try
Oh and if you try, try
Oh and if you try, try-y
Oh and if you try, try-y
Oh and if you try

Wheels On Fire

Wheels on fire, why don't you?
Tell me lies, you want to
Wheels on fire, why don't you say goodbye?

Well there's a light, there's a hope
Come swing me baby, from this here rope
I sold you lies

Pray that maybe someday you'd return
Lord knows I learned to

I keep finding words that leave you (I told you I don't mind)
Someting tells me I'm not meant to (I told you I don't mind)
I keep finding words that leave you

Wheels on fire, why don't you?
Tell me lies, you want to
Wheels on fire, why don't you say goodbye?

Well there's a light, there's a hope
Come swing me baby, from this here rope
I sold you lies

Pray that maybe someday you'd return
Lord knows I learned to

I keep finding words that leave you (I told you I don't mind)
Someting tells me I'm not meant to (I told you I don't mind)
I keep finding words that leave you

Wheels on fire, why don't you?
Tell me lies, you want to
Wheels on fire, why don't you say goodbye?

Why don't you say goodbye?
Why don't you say goodbye?
Why don't you say goodbye?

Which Way To Happy?

Wake up your sleepy head to come a calling
Last on the road will be first to be heard
Tell me a joke and I will love you
Bring me your dream and I'm yours

I couldn't lie to anyone who's never felt sure
Of a real life romance
There's no beaten cause
Surrounding me now
There's no bleeding heart

Well I don't wanna know you right now
Make time to show me your scars

Which way to happy
Which way to hell
For I think I lost direction
When you threw me out of bed

And are you sure there's a heaven
For I'd rather be, a bad bad oh
I wish I was in a suitcase on my way back home
To you there's a light in there, I keep on talking to myself
God, can you hear me?

There's no beaten cause
Surrounding me now
There's no bleeding heart

And I don't wanna know you right now
Well let's walk the waters to help heal the love
For all we could take was what you'd just written off
The dawn of the dances are what you was and what you were and all

Who's dancing now?

Well it's too late to learn
(Too late, too late, too late to learn)
Oh it's too late to learn

I don't wanna have to be the one who has to hurt you
And I don't wanna have to be the one who has to hurt you
And I don't wanna have to be the one who has to hurt you
And I don't wanna have to be the one who has to hurt you

You Never Had It

I must have been blind
Thought I could see through your eyes
I was wrong you were right
But I can't get out of bed

Fear, fear in my balls
Look at the toss that you've turned
Yet still I could learn
I can't get out of bed
Was it something that you said?

I've been wronged I've been wronged
I was lost but now I'm found
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Of losing something that you never had

Fear, fear in my balls
Look at the toss that you've turned
Yet still I wanna learn
But I can't get out of bed

I must have been blind
Thought I could see through the night
I was wrong you were right
But I can't get out of bed

I've been wronged I've been wronged
I've been lost but now I'm found
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Of losing something that you never had

I must have been blind
Thought I could see through the night
I was wrong you were right
And I can't get out of bed

I thought I was right
Thought I could see through your lies
But I can't - you were right
And I can't get out of bed
Was it something that you said?

I've been wronged I've been wronged
I was lost but now I'm found
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Of losing something that you never had
