Lyrics

I know, I know you want it
Though you said you want it your feelings are falling away
I am pondering on it
Singing up a sonnet so my feelings will fall into place
You said, you said I've got it
And even if I had it you were looking the other way
Now I cannot see beyond it
You cannot conceal it 'cos it's written all over your face

I can see it's true
I am leaving you

I cannot pretend you want it
I'm trying to believe it as your feelings are starting to fade
You said "He said she said it"
We might as well forget it when everything seems so lame
I am looking for a reason
To tell you that I'm leaving but the reason is on my face
She said "She's gotta feel it"
Yeah she's gotta mean it but the meaning was stolen away

I am lost in a dream
What I'm not is what you need

You've gotta see it
You've got to admit it that your feelings have floated away
How the hell can you permit it
I know I'll be committed but commitment is going to wait
