| Lyrics: | Another night with open eyes
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
You're short of breath,
is it a heart attack?
Hot and feverish you face the fact
You're in love, and it
feels like shame
Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
You're in love,
and it feels like pain
Because you know there's too much truth in everything she
claims
So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
If she wants you to?
Ask
yourself: Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
You drift into the strangest
dreams
Of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not
yet
Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
She's made you some kind of
laughing stock
Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock
She'd make fun of you,
and even in bed
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
So ask
yourself now: Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even
deliver
What she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish,
so childish!
(That's childish, so childish!)
Remember when you were more easily
led
Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came
true
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
It was love, and now you can't
pretend
You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
It's bad enough, she knows
how you feel
But she's not prepared to share you with the memory
So ask yourself
now: Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
What
she demands of you?
Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
And ask
yourself: Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
Or do you want
revenge?
But that's childish, so childish |
