I'm trying to be on my best behaviour
But constantly falling behind
I'm sorry I missed you, I'm sorry I missed you tonight
You always call but never get an answer
I'm sick of living a lie
I'm sorry I kissed you, I'm sorry I kissed you tonight
We fight to live together
Because we know we die alone
The west wind blow my cigarette ash
All over your dress
Didn't I tell you that together we would make a mess?
Give it up, give it up
‘Cause I need you to hear me tonight
I'm sorry to waste your time
Weigh it up, weigh it up
'Cause the fortune isn't worth the fight
I'm sorry to waste your time
But I won't waste mine
You're trying to be on your best behaviour
But you can't do a damn thing right
It's too late to change my mind
Because baby I was your book, and honey you were a chapter
I never meant to write
I'm sorry to leave but I'm not sorry to leave you behind
We fight to live together
Because we know we'll die alone
The moon cries out for old school romance
With a new wave soul
There's not a bracket in your body that could make me whole
Give it up, give it up
'Cause I need you to hear me tonight
I'm sorry to waste your time
Weigh it up, weigh it up
'Cause the fortune isn't worth the fight
I'm sorry to waste your time
I need it
Baby, I get temperamental when the tide is rough
Honey, heaven isn't heaven when the journey's tough
I don't need it. Hell, I don't need it
I need a tranquilliser for my battle blackened blood
My bogus heart is tarnished with the scars of phony love
And I don't need this. No, never again.
We're not friends, we're strangers with memories
I won't pretend that I don't miss the chemistry
But I can't stand another minute with you on my mind
I'm sorry to waste your time.
Give it up, give it up
'Cause I no longer need you in my life
I'm sorry to waste your time
Weigh it up, weigh it up
'Cause the fortune isn't worth the fight
I'm sorry to waste your time
