lyrics

You started telling stories, you started telling lies,
In order to escape, every time she cries
Your escape is never subtle, it’s quick and it’s cruel
You’d rather to lose the girl you love, than ever lose your cool

You can't ignore the warnings, you can't ignore the signs
That you are falling away, from the hope of a happy life
And who knows where you’ll land?

The centre of the city is an easy place to hide
Alone in quiet corners, the guilt won’t subside
The eyes that spy you, from one end of the bar
A pertinent reminder of all the times you went too far

You can't ignore the warnings, you can't ignore the signs
That you are falling away, from the hope of a happy life
How long can you survive before the quicksand of regret
Envelops you slowly, before you’re in over your head?

At least you’ll be surrounded by a suffocating warmth
The kind you haven’t felt since you ran from your home
The last words you said to her, the very last thing
If your look is paralysing, I don’t want to feel a thing
