Were you told to hold me when I'm like this?
I'd love to believe that it came from the heart
And everything's resolved with a winning smile
Let everybody think you're the same on the inside
When my eyes look like a prince after time
Do you still find me the most beautiful?
Did you ever anyway even before?
What do I need you to spell it out for?
Not in control of my emotions, thoughts are not my own
I bit you today, but I'll kiss it better tomorrow!
And I do want you to do it
But there's still a little chicken, dying to get out
And I can't always be fifty tonnes
If I stop the process now, what of my dying at fifty dream?
If the cancer has already arrived then it intended to take its time
But can I change fate? Can I? Like Ebenezer right the wrongs
Only so that I'm licensed to die young...
Twenty-four hours, for seven, for fifty-two for sixty plus
The initial attraction and glue
Gonna have to find something more between us
It's a long time to be silent...
And I'm also aware that I expect too much
How can you do what I want? I don't know what I want you to do
All I know right now is that I really f**ing need you
Yet black rain, grey rivers and red
Boxer-wounds and all the complication in my head
Knowing that my fate is to crawl damp into bed
Still the door slams shut
Is she unstable, hysterical, alone?
Would it be wise now to be on my own?
Nothing would do for her home grown
So if I make myself nothing...
But still the door slams shut
