lyrics

Like a bull into my china heart you charged without concern
And now I'm left with all this mess to sweep.
I guess that I was home from school the day I should have learned
Not to love someone who makes you weep.

Like a wrecking ball you came through my hall of mirrors
And now my bad luck never seems to end.
And all too soon our honeymoon was waning,
And now we're sat here in the dark just being friends.

So I write sad songs about girls who smile from photographs
That are tucked inside a diary from a time that I want to forgets
And I know that soon I'll have to try to erase them from my mind,
And throw the book in the fire, but I'm just not ready yet.

Our love's like prayers, whispered over scratch-cards:
No matter what I say, I'm never going to win.
I'm the homeless man asleep in the churchyard:
I'm so close to salvation but I just can't get in.

And I write sad songs about girls who smile from photographs
That are tucked inside a diary from a time that I want to forgets
And I know that soon I'll have to try to erase them from my mind,
And throw the book in the fire, but I'm just not ready yet.

And I wish that you could see
See what you've done to me
And I hope you feel ashamed
Every time you go to speak my name
When I'm strung out on the floor,
Hidden away behind my bedroom door.
I can't do this any more.

So I write sad songs about girls who smile from photographs
That are tucked inside a diary from a time that I want to forgets
And I know that soon I'll have to try to erase them from my mind,
And throw the book in the fire, but I'm just not ready yet.
