When we lost you I was off my head
Have I misunderstood?
And in time I came to blame myself
Maybe I'm just no good
Now every single song will always be about this
Like I care about a cuss or a kiss
That's just one more excuse to stay in this room
And keep to myself and think about you
At night I listen through walls
One minute you're there
Then nothing at all
And I'm always seeing your ghost on the stairs
Passing me by
Going somewhere
Like I don't care
Sometimes life hurts you too much
It all comes undone
And leaves you struck dumb
And I know I might've left it unsung
But all these years on
I still feel sad
In our dreams we'll always be sixteen
Real enough to touch
And in ecstasy cos everything
Matters a bit too much
Now every single song will always be about this
Like I care about a cuss or a kiss
That's just one more excuse to stay in this room
And keep to myself and think about you
At night I listen through walls
One minute you're there
Then nothing at all
And I'm always seeing your ghost on the stairs
Passing me by
Going somewhere
Like I don't care
Sometimes life hurts you too much
It all comes undone
And leaves you struck dumb
And I know I might've left it unsung
But all these years on
I still feel sad
I guess it's hard to learn that love is just
An ordinary thing
You'll be singing someone wanders past
Casually joining in
