i couldn't hear a word you said,
i couldn't hear at all. 
you talked until your tongue fell out 
and then you talked some more.

i knew if i turned
i knew if i turned,
i'd turn away from you.
i couldn't look back.
i couldn't look back. 

tell yourself we'll start again,
tell yourself it's not the end,
tell yourself it couldn't happen
not this way.
not today. not today.
