Lyrics
Can you - fix me - I'm all broke inside for now
Kiss me - I couldn't see - your fingers crossed (behind) somehow
I ask myself - what to do, what to say,
Do I turn around, or walk away?
I'm by myself -
'cause I'll never understand my heart, these hands, these legs
Shoulda known better
not to make yourself sweat it (with her)
there was someone else forever
that was altogether better (you heard)
no, no, no you ain't gonna go with a smile
you're getting' hot under the collar
and you haven't been yourself for a while
If these long, silly bones don't reply,
you'll know then (in the end)
it's just words, that properly failed us this time
Ask myself - what to do, what to say,
Do I turn around, or walk away?
I'm by myself -
'cause I'll never understand my heart, these hands, (these legs)
Chorus:
