Carl Eaton - Coda Lyrics

It's been a while since we've agreed on anything
And my opinion doesn't seem to mean a thing
Every day I tip toe round trying hard not to make a sound

You've got your nose in everyone's concerns but mine
Goading me on, I really should have read the signs
Pinning me back against the wall, constantly making me feel small

Cos you've been so unkind, it took a while for me to realise
But often love is blind and the truth's replaced with one big lie

Now I can't keep the flame alive when all you do is blow it out
So say the words you want to say, I'm tired of lingering about

If you decide it's time for you to say goodbye
There will be no more tears to flow out of these eyes
I think it's probably for the best, you've put my patience to the test

I gave you everything but nothing that I had was any use
There's really nothing left, I'm just a target meant for your abuse

So let the coda play tonight and we can have this final dance
Before we go our separate ways, there will not be a second chance

I'm walking away, I'm taking no more
I'm closing the book, I'm shutting the door

I tried to make it work, I tried to tolerate your darker side
But I can't bear the hurt, a lack of faith I can no longer hide

And now I must be on my way, I'm gonna get my life on track
And if you miss what you once had don't ever think that I'll be back
Im sure you find another fool, somebody with low self-esteem
Who'll play the part and take the pain, a nightmare that was once a dream"
