[00:10.96] She was once mine
[00:13.56] That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that
[00:18.25] stuck inside the Sunday Times
[00:22.09] She was so sweet on Christmas Eve
[00:27.63] With the snow set deep,
[00:29.79] when we went walking through the pines
[00:33.26] I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived
[00:38.07] And the new year would see her flying far away from me
[00:43.06] Though I didn't know it at the time
[00:48.19]
[00:56.13] With outstretched hands
[00:58.85] Now she commands
[01:01.71] A famous figure for every picture
[01:07.62] And she stands up strong and she demands
[01:13.11] And they deliver
[01:15.75] Yeah, she's a fixture
[01:18.69]
[01:19.00] And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that
[01:23.73] I might feel, should she appear
[01:26.55] Just like it hasn't been three years
[01:30.39] And there's a distance to her voice over
[01:34.04] the phone and that's because she stands alone
[01:38.63] While I'm still sitting here
[01:41.80]
[01:45.19] Girl, you see me here on another quiet night
[01:49.67] I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives
[01:57.54] I'll decide where the light's even and bright
[02:00.96] Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly,
[02:05.58] just gliding softly by
[02:10.47]
[02:11.10] And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees
[02:15.73] some Christmas Eve some god was kind enough to set aside
[02:21.98] Although I'd love you to, I'm proud of you
[02:25.42] God knows I'm feeling really stupid now
[02:30.10] For having ever said goodbye
[02:33.78]
[02:42.56] During the fight
[02:45.38] I said, "Yeah right"
[02:48.50] When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write
[02:53.70] Now, I know you're working hard so
[02:56.57] I never hear from you, and that's fine
[03:01.03] You look the same on TV as when you were mine
[03:07.74] I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control
[03:19.98] I watch you from the distance,
[03:25.75] you go walking through the terminal
[03:31.97] I remember ever instance, when you stung me
[03:40.27] Oh, you're so lovely
[03:43.08] Oh, you're so smart
[03:45.92]
[03:49.03] So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead,
[03:52.51] go break their hearts
[03:58.14] Go break their hearts
[04:03.40] Baby, break their hearts
[04:08.84] And I know you will
[04:20.73]
