lyrics

she once told me not to listen, find the answers, intuition
follow no-one, trust your instincts, face the world, find out it stinks
don't come crying, don't come crying, don't come crying to me
i'm not your friend, i'm just your lover
don't put your faith, don't put your faith in me
you cut me up and rob me blind, but now i'm fine
she told me about the places i could never find
she told me how to walk while by her side
don't be fooled by teardrops, they're worth a thousand lies
when i saw them running down her face, i believed in her
stranded, ah ah, stranded, ah, ah
hit me in the gut like a brick through a window
left me in the gutter like a wet news rag
sitting alone, thinking out the times we never had, cause you were my life
she told me if and whether, we'd spend the night together
she made so many promises, i believed her
