ONE MONTH OFF
Well there were seven years between us
Seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes
And a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise
Not just Bethnal Green
And it's just not right
This waiting game
Making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
And it's just not like me to lash out
But enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do
That I can't?
Translucent and sun-bleached skin
Yeah
When did you get so L.A.?
How can you desert me
After all we've been through?
Stuck on a dream that somewhere is better
You'll be the one missing out
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
If you need time
Time, time, time, time...
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
Fighting lies with lies…
