Story Behind The Song

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Song Description

Scorned lover realising on reflection that it was the best thing when her lover left her

Lyrics

I never knew
What I let myself in for by loving you
I never realized
That the world could be so full of fun and pure delight
I surprised myself
That I surr-endered all of my soul, to yourself
Touch me, am I awake?
Or has god fallen asleep and left me to this crumbling earthquake

I disguised my smile
Thought it was easier, to put aside, what I wanted for a while
Sleepwalking I couldn?t escape
I was living a lie, with second helpings from you piled on my plate
Did I love you?
Yes I did
More than anyone else, you said it yourself we had magic in our wake
But you left me
Anyhow
Cause your mother controlled all the things you were told
And you ran home to her hell.

Chorus 1
It was the best thing, you ever done for me
It was the best thing you ever did
I thought my life was mapped out in front of me
You saved me from a life, that would have been, seriously misled.


Chorus 2
Come give me some more pain
Your fears are all the same
Come give me more of your lies
Cause darling they?re no longer a surprise
Come tell me that you love me
And walk away before me
Come tell me that you love me like no one before
And when you leave, please darling won?t you be a star and close the door

Chorus 3
Come give me some more pain
I can take it now without the blame
Come feed me some more lies
I can trust you now to mislead and misguide
Come tell me that you love me
I?ve got so much to give, your self-importance was slick
Come tell me that you love me like no one before
I understand darling, I?m a beautiful catch, but there?s now no need to call.
