Well the first time that I saw her
Standing in the middle of the road
Eyes just 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 tight
In an armchair in my friend's front room
I said: darling you know, darling you know I can't stay
Cause I've given my heart and my word to a girl far away
I felt weak and she kissed my cheek and aside when I heard her say:
Never knew I could get my heart broken in less than a day
Oh and the next time that I saw her
Must've been a year or more
Face stained with mascara
She ran outside my door
I did my best to asure her
But assurance isn't easy to give
Can never be sure of anything much
And get less old the longer you live
She said: darling you know, darling you know I can't stay
Cause I gave my heart and my word to a boy far away
I spoke soft and pretended to cough like I didin't care anyway
Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways
The last time that i saw her
Standing in the pouring rain
Hair a little shorter, but everything else looked the same
I could've told her that I adored her
She could've 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
