[00:10.96]She was once mine [00:13.56]That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that [00:18.25]stuck inside the Sunday Times [00:22.09]She was so sweet on Christmas Eve [00:27.63]With the snow set deep, [00:29.79]when we went walking through the pines [00:33.26]I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived [00:38.07]And the new year would see her flying far away from me [00:43.06]Though I didn't know it at the time [00:48.19] [00:56.13]With outstretched hands [00:58.85]Now she commands [01:01.71]A famous figure for every picture [01:07.62]And she stands up strong and she demands [01:13.11]And they deliver [01:15.75]Yeah, she's a fixture [01:18.69] [01:19.00]And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that [01:23.73]I might feel, should she appear [01:26.55]Just like it hasn't been three years [01:30.39]And there's a distance to her voice over [01:34.04]the phone and that's because she stands alone [01:38.63]While I'm still sitting here [01:41.80] [01:45.19]Girl, you see me here on another quiet night [01:49.67]I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives [01:57.54]I'll decide where the light's even and bright [02:00.96]Where my life's sweet as it's slightly, disappointedly, [02:05.58]just gliding softly by [02:10.47] [02:11.10]And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees [02:15.73]some Christmas Eve some god was kind enough to set aside [02:21.98]Although I'd love you to, I'm proud of you [02:25.42]God knows I'm feeling really stupid now [02:30.10]For having ever said goodbye [02:33.78] [02:42.56]During the fight [02:45.38]I said, "Yeah right" [02:48.50]When you insisted that I visit, that you'd write [02:53.70]Now, I know you're working hard so [02:56.57]I never hear from you, and that's fine [03:01.03]You look the same on TV as when you were mine [03:07.74]I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control [03:19.98]I watch you from the distance, [03:25.75]you go walking through the terminal [03:31.97]I remember ever instance, when you stung me [03:40.27]Oh, you're so lovely [03:43.08]Oh, you're so smart [03:45.92] [03:49.03]So, go turn their heads, go knock them dead, [03:52.51]go break their hearts [03:58.14]Go break their hearts [04:03.40]Baby, break their hearts [04:08.84]And I know you will [04:20.73]
