I told her I’d be gone for an hour or two
To fix his bike
I told him I got caught up at work
With a pile of paper tonight
You don’t understand the pain that I felt
When I waved my child goodbye
You can trust me I feel more that enough guilt
Without a child
Victoria line now
Are we fine now
Wait 'till Vauxhall
To touch my hand
Planned all this time
To commit our crime
Someone will have to understand

And why do we hurt the people around us
Why do we break the ones that we love the most
I don’t wanna hurt no
I don’t wanna hurt no more
Why do we chase the perfect illusion
Tearing it all apart for no reason
I don’t even know you
I don’t even know you, no
But we keep riding the Victoria line

I don’t know why I always keep hurting
The ones I love the most
Come on now I know you want it
It’s too late
We’re way too close
So open up some wine now
Let’s feel fine now
Put your weight
Right on my chest
If you want you can go
But see you later
Someone will have to clean this mess

And why do we hurt the people around us
Why do we break the ones that we love the most
I don’t wanna hurt no
I don’t wanna hurt no more
Why do we chase the perfect illusion
Tearing it all apart for no reason
I don’t even know you
I don’t even know you, no

And why do we hurt the people around us
Why do we break the ones that we love the most
I don’t wanna hurt no
I don’t wanna hurt no more
Why do we chase the perfect illusion
Tearing it all apart for no reason
I don’t even know you
I don’t even know you, no
Oh, I don’t even know you
I don’t even know you, no
But we keep riding the Victoria line
But we keep riding the Victoria line
But we keep riding the Victoria line
But we keep riding the Victoria line
