Words
Well the first time that i saw herStanding in the middle of the roadEyes as bright as Christmas lightsWearing someone else's clothesI did my best to ignore herBut ignoring my best pretty soonWe spent the night all tangled tightIn an armchair in my friends front room
I said darling you knowDarling you know i can't stayCos i've given my heart and my word to a girl far awayI felt week as she kissed my cheekAnd sighed when i heard her sayNever knew i could get my heart broken in less than a day
Oh and the next time that i saw herMust have been a year or moreFace stained with mascaraShivering outside my doorI did my best to assure herBut assurance isn't easy to giveIf you've never been sure of anything muchAnd get less so the longer you live
She said darling you knowDarling you know i can't stayCos i've given my heart and my word to a boy far awayI spoke soft and pretended to coughLike i didn't care either wayNever knew i could get my heart broken in so many ways
And the last time that I saw herStanding in the pouring rainHair a little shorterBut everything else looked the sameI could’ve told her that I adored herShe could’ve said she felt the same wayBut we just smiled cos sometimes wordsAren’t the right words to sayWe just smiled cos sometimes wordsAren’t the right words to say
