I push a door
To let you enter
Am I a fool
You’ve got a cheek
It’s pretty clear
You’re not as honest as the day
Lying every minute
But that was my mistake

I read a joke
That made you crazy
Tried a poem
It’s miles above your head
It’s pretty clear
You’re not the guy I thought I knew
Unkind and pretty awful
And that was my mistake

You best be gone
In twenty four seven
You must have seen
The writing on the wall
The world don’t stop
Just because you snap your fingers
You live in lands
Where nothing ever grows
It’s all you seem to know

You brushed aside
My pain and sorrow
But not before
You broke my teenage dream
Could I forget
Those caustic words you spat out loud
Like acid on my brain
I’ll never love again

I took a train out to the country
Left you at home to sort out all your stuff
Just pack your bags
But leave the key before you go
Don’t bother to return
Cos that’s a big mistake

I gotta be outta here
In twenty four seven
You must have seen
The writing on the wall
The world don’t stop
Just because you snap your fingers
You live in lands
Where nothing ever grows
No one seems to know

I gotta be outta here
In twenty four seven
You must have seen
The writing on the wall
The world don’t stop
Just because you snap your fingers
You live in lands
Where nothing ever grows
No one seems to know

Don’t look away
Just clean the mess you left
I’m not a baddie
Or the a guy who bears a grudge
My span of life
Is full of complicated ups and downs
Calm is now the key
And that’s no big mistake

I took a break
From all this madness
Reflect on days
When you weren’t there
I soon became
The man I thought I ought to be
There’s nothing left to hide
And that was no mistake

I gotta be outta here
In twenty four seven
You must have seen
The writing on the wall
The world don’t stop
Just because you snap your fingers
You live in lands
Where nothing ever grows
No one seems to know
