lyrics

There’s no more words to read, even less to write
As I am sighing and crying every inch of the night
Clocks tutting pointed and glaring all day
As I compose a new email to someone turning away
I am skinning my knuckles, imagine touching your face
My words coming backwards, stuck in the same place

And now I’m just a stain on your sheets
And how you adjust just beggars belief
And now I’m just a stain on your sheets
And how you adjust just beggars belief

Oh I am trying to sleep
I am trying to keep away
Was it true when you said
Always your girlfriend
In Wales?

All the love songs I wrote have now turned blank
Stall with tears on my thighs when I am trying to.... read
Sick to my fingertips I scroll past your face
Sighing in piss-lifts for all the things gone to waste
Laying my emotions like eggs at your feet
A laconic smirk as you start to stampede
Embarrassing imbalances you are tired of my name
And now your eyes look like strangers although your face looks the same

I am skipping tablets like stones
To make me horribly ill
And I told you these things
And yet you kissed me, still
I am skipping tablets like stones
To make me horribly ill
And I told you these things
And yet you kissed me

Oh I am trying to sleep
I am trying to keep away
Was it true when you said
Always your girlfriend
In Wales?

What were the words I thought I heard you say?
What were the words that made you turn away?
