Swings And Roundabouts
Girl I know I loved you, and I know you know it too,
It hurts that things didn't quite work out, but I’m sure we’ll see this through.
I’ve heard you saying that I’m lost; other people say I just missed out
But the way I look at it it’s all just swings and roundabouts.
I've still got that photograph of us, its up there on my wall,
and every day it looks less like me, and more like a curtain call,
and I've seen you thinking that I've changed; but that's just my way,
of escaping from that other life, of facing another day
I guess that's the way it all worked out, the way it was meant to be
and who am I to question your God, why should he care about me
I've heard you questioning who I am; but you know as well as me
the only me that I had is long gone, I'm finding a different identity
Love seemed like such an easy thing, guess that's why you lose control
But I only said you could have my heart, when did I sign away my soul?
I’ve heard you saying that I’m lost; other people say I just missed out
But the way I look at it it’s all just swings and roundabouts.
I can’t hear myself clearly, I'm coming through all blurred,
my head is full of all these thoughts, both mysterious and absurd,
I’ve heard you saying that I’m lost, we both know that ain’t fair
I know exactly where I am it's where I’m going I don’t care.
I’m walking through these empty streets as daylight turns to night,
And I’ve got this empty feeling, I’m fading out to white.
I’ve heard you saying that I’m lost, and I’ll try not to pretend,
That there’s another place to go, another way for this to end.
Smile like the Sunset
Smile like a sunset, you know it's got to end
She acts as though she likes you but somehow you're just a friend
Maybe you'll say something but she don't like to talk
Perhaps its better if you just decide to take a walk
Who cares if her indecision kills you, you understood the risks
She's the one that's playing fair, it's just a different game
And who said everyone is different, when everyone else is more or less the same
Just 'cause anyone else would at least have turned you down
Doesn't mean she cares it's hurting you, playing her clown
Come on you never seriously thought it would be simple
You could have chosen a nice girl, like your mother said
But then that wouldn't be no fun, so you chose her instead
And even though your friends told you that she'd drive you insane
You jumped right in out of your depth, into a world of pain
And though she'd never blame you she's condemned you
She might be pretty and well she's surely smart
We can all see that from the hold that she has on your heart
But how much more of this are you prepared to take
And more importantly at what point will it make
The love you once felt feel more like contempt
