Tonight is the darkest of nights,

Everything in shadow

This veil of an overcast sky is death for photographs

But this is something that I’d rather not remember

Your kiss goodbye was colder than December

Six feet below the ground

Well I’ll never be more than a thorn in your side

A point that’s been there all along-

Futile to try to hide

We were ankle deep in all of this

Now I’m drowning in the shallow end

Your silence is the ribbon round this key

Please spare me finality

And it’s easy to say

It’s the years that we’ve spent, the places we’ve been

That separate

But you tried for her, and don’t tell me that I came too late

When I’ve been here all along

It’s a pity, the face that you think you saved

Your subtleties, they wash over me

But I’ve played your games

And their so cliché

I know everything

That you’ve done to me

Well I’ll never be more than a thorn in your side

A point that’s been there all along-

Futile to try to hide

We were ankle deep in all of this

Now I’m drowning in the shallow end

Your silence is the ribbon round this key

Please spare me finality

Crossed you off my list a thousand times

But the constant question in your eyes

Could always light the way back home

But now we’re a mess of consequence

A love that lost its innocence

And is bound to be

Nothing more than familiarity

No, don’t touch me

Again with your

Unfortunate honesty

So cut me down again and take me

In your arms

The predictability of your heart break will

Keep me safe from harm

And should you ever feel the need to be

The constant we both know I need

I’ll always only be a breath away

I’ve only ever been a breath away

But I’ll never be more than a thorn in your side

A point that’s been there all along-

Futile to try to hide

We were ankle deep in all of this

Now I’m drowning in the shallow end

Your silence is the ribbon round this key

Please spare me finality

I’ll always only be a breath away

I’ve only ever been a breath away
