And I woke at eleven

To find a tropic heaven

To find a bed I didn’t know

And some light attire to leave in

---

I flew away to get away

I just don’t know where I want to stay

---

Two nights ago I woke at one

To your smile – you were calling home

I found you read me like a book

In whichever thoughts I roamed

---

You broke right in now we’re breaking out (together …)

I just don’t know what I want to shout

---

The timing’s been unfortunate

Everytime our hands have met

That’s no excuse I admit

And you saw right through that

The shame, the blame, has shifted to me

And I’ve nothing in defense to say

---

And I’ll be waking at eleven

To my first ever birthday … away from home

I feel I should be staying

Inner defense fraying … without you

---

I forgot emotion to forget the pain of love

But now I wish I could turn back the clock

---

The timing’s been unfortunate

Everytime our hands have met

That’s no excuse I admit

No defense case can I make

The shame, the blame, has shifted to me

I’ve learnt that pain is worth it to see

One day with you, all doors gone through

And a parting of course, but we accept that we must

Go our separate ways … after today
