If we burn it down quick then we won't have the scars, were the words that I heard in Sainsbury's car park,
and I couldn't cry and I couldn't feel, for I knew she was right, that woman of steel.
Well I took to my car and drove far away, but the M25 brought me back here again, you just have to laugh cos it helps with the pain, of a juxtaposed heart on a beautiful day.
If you couldn't tell I'm down, yeah it's another sad song from my mouth, I'm getting pretty good at them now I can't get out of my own mind,
so let's be free, and I'll sleep with the birds and the bees, if that's a euphemism for company, then let it be, cause I told my mother everything.
So I get on my drinking with a few loyal friends, cause it's better than thinking who's in between your legs.
I don't mean to sound callous, I don't mean to sound cruel,
but you said to forget all those metaphorical songs.
"Why can't you write more songs like example"
"Do something with your life cause I know you've got potential"
"Get out of your house and out of Carshalton then you won't be down."
Are you proud, that I'm 26 and only just discovered honesty?
