I was perfectly happy when you walked in my life.
Though I thought I was lucky, it ended in strife.
All the words that you whispered fell through the floor
on that night air was heavy so I shut the door.

You can't even imagine all the nights I stayed up
and felt lost in you game of lone hearts and trust
when the very next day you'd look up and you'd smile
and I was swept away a while

But I have lost count of the hours I'd sit there and cry
I'd examine my rug and hope someday that I
would be just as happy as she was with you
And like water or wind, float away dressed in blue.

Cus you were there one day and then you were gone
And the record was still skipping the same Slow Club songs
And the eyes all around bore into my head as I wept for you
And all around there were nothing but strangers.
They poked and they prodded til they got what they wanted
And the scientist with green eyes, he thought I was dead.

Then all around me started to hum
The painful memory I buried out of agony that winter night
When the moon wouldn't shine.

He sang always be true, always be true, always be true.
He sang always be true always be true, always be true
AND IT HAUNTS ME
Always be true, always be true, always be true
Always be true, always be true, always be true

But I remember that thinking, drinking, sinking feeling.
