In time you'll decide to leave me by an open door
And I'll keep all your secrets while you're making more 
Because I want you to be happy 
But if you leave I won't be happy
You must go and go get happy but if you leave I'll be unhappy. 

You never let me in on nothing of consequence. 

You'll be breaking hearts. 
You'll break mine for a start. 
And you will always do it your way.

I've been thinking, for once, at last. 
I guess we all go through it all in our own way.
And I want you to be happy
But if you leave I won't be happy
You must go and go get happy 
But if you leave I'll be unhappy. 

Don't ever let me in on nothing of consequence.

You'll be breaking hearts.
You'll break mine for a start.
And you will always do it your way. 

Do It Your Way

You greet the dawn
With a yawn
You've seen it all before
Repeatedly
You flagrantly discard civility

But all the best ones are taken so you'll have to do
All the best ones are taken now
Except for you

Settle for second best
It's great as I'll attest

Okay, sometimes I change my mind
But mainly I'm right first time around.

Once upon a time you were going to decide which side you were on
Inelegantly you take it from me
Then offer it back again

All the best ones are taken now apparently
All the best ones are taken now except for me

There's not much I'm good at but don't quote me on that

Okay, sometimes I change my mind but mainly I'm right first time around. 

First Time Around

You have to promise you'll come back before you leave
One day I want to see you smiling through false teeth
Even though I think I know you
It's true
It's true I think to say I don't do
Do you?
I do

I don't mind wasting time so long as I'm in on it too

Whoops a daisy I said something true

Kiss me while I still have all of my own teeth
I always believed you were too good to believe
Sometimes I hate the fact that I am always right
Because I'm pretty sure you're not alone tonight
(and you've probably just turned out the light)

I don't mind wasting time so long as I'm in on it too

Cor blimey I said something true

I don't mind

You Know I'm Right. I'm Mr Right.

Maybe we get more chances than one
Although a maybe is not much to go on
And maybe we get a chance to explain
Although I truly do not know what I'd say

With eyes wide open
As far as I can see
It's Hell for me

I tried

Gee Whizz oh Stevie you're who I wish I could be
I never wanted to be the real me
And if I had more of an objective view
I guess I'd distance myself from me and closer to you

With eyes wide open
As far as I can see
It's Hell for me

I tried

Notes On My Impending Death

Getaway

I've been wasting my time with you / I know that you didn't ask me to / no point in being myself to you / gonna be somebody else to you / don't ever leave me alone / you shouldn't leave me alone // I've had enough of too much (it's enough) / stupidity is attractive to me / no point in being myself or you / I'd be somebody else if I was you / don't ever leave me alone / you shouldn't leave me alone.

You Shouldn't Leave Me Alone.

I've been proven right on my own again but I'll never believe it is if you never believe it is a sign of what's to come off it now and then and I'll never believe it is if you never believe it is / It's a waste of our time but you never believe it is as good as it is / I want to be as good as you've been to me // It's 10pm and I'm on my own again and I'll never believe it is if you ever believe it is / I sat and watched you come off it now (and then) and I'll never believe it is if you never believe it is / It's a waste of our time but you never believe it is as good as it is / I want to be as good as you've been to me.

Imaginary Friend

I've taken part in plenty of farces in my time
You never believe it when I tell you that you're mine
But I agree with myself again

Wrapped up in the arms of another
We've always been this way with each other

If it's getting worse
I'm no good at reverse
We flagrantly disregard good manners and working hard
But after this we're going to get it right

Mocha Chocca
Bim Bam
I'm glad I'm glutton dressed as glam
Be careful with that heart of mine
It does attack from time to time
But after all we're going to get it right

I'll be leaving you behind
Not in body but in mind.

Glutton Dressed As Glam

In the summer if you want to come along you can / In the meantime I'll be quite fine sitting on my bum / Don't say you don't know if you don't or do / I want to find a reason to have some feelings / staring out the window I'm just waiting for Stockholm Syndrome to kick in / You won't even believe what I'm believing this time / Please don't take me at my word / Don't say you don't know if you don't or do / In the summer if you want to come along you can / In the mean time I'll be quite fine sitting on my behind / When the way you're feeling hits the ceiling / There must be something wrong with you / I'll tell you what: I'll look into it / You won't even believe what'm believing this time.

In Ze Meantime

That's enough of that is it? you tell me
I know I go too far sometimes
And now we're faking smiles again
Masquerade as ourselves and them
I never needed this
Although I think I did
I don't spend mind much time in the light but you're on fire tonight

But that's enough of that you know me too well
I've known you for a week you know me too well
It's not enough to be the one you want to be
You've got to get lucky
I never told you this
Although I think I did
I open my eyes in the dark and convince myself it's a start.
