Intro:
Verse 1:
Well the first time that I saw her,
Standing in the middle of the
road.
Eyes as bright as
Christmas lights,
Wearing someone else’s
clothes.
I did my best to ignore her,
But
Ignoring my best pretty
soon.
We spent the night all
tangled tied,
In an armchair in my
friends front
room.
Chorus:
I said
darling you know,
darling you know I cant
stay.
Cause I’ve g
iven my heart and my
word to a girl far
away.
I felt weak as she
kissed my cheek, and as
ide when I heard her
say.
Never knew I could
get my heart
broken, in
less than a
day.
Verse 2:
Oh and the next time that I saw her,
Must have been a year or
more.
Face stained with
mascara,
Shivering outside my
door.
I did my best to assure her,
But
assurance isn’t easy to
give.
You’ve never been sure of
anything much,
And get less so the
longer you
live.
Chorus 2:
She said
darling you know,
darling you know I can’t
stay.
Cause I’ve
given my heart and my
word to a boy far
away.
I spoke soft and
pretended to cough,
like I didn’t care either
way.
Never knew I could
get my heart
broken in
so many
ways.
Verse 3:
And the last time that I saw her,
Standing in the pouring
rain.
Hair a little
shorter,
But everything else looked the
same.
I could’a told her that I adored her,
She coulda said she felt the same
way.
But we just smiled cause
sometimes words,
aren’t the right
words to
say.
We just smiled cause
sometimes words,
aren’t the right
words to say.
