Don't you think of me sometime?
I never chose to be
If I been hard on you
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
If I been hard on you
And all this writing on the wall
Rain coming down to wash away my fears
A drink of wine
A drink of water
I never chose to be
I'd kiss your cheek
Rain come down give this dirty town
So far from home
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Oh I can read between the lines
But in the dark you'd speak my name
Sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
I'd stop myself from wakin' you
Did you never feel the distance?
I never chose to be
Did you never try to cross no line?
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
Yes and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong ?
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
If I been hard on you
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Cos it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
Supposed to be
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Oh, here I am baby I'm coming back for more
I never wanted no one else
I never chose to be
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
I never wanted no one else
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
If I been hard on you
You'd say, "Baby, what's wrong?"
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
I never wanted no one else
And all this writing on the wall
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
