VERSE 1

YOU SAID YOU MUST SPREAD YOUR WINGS
AND MOVE ONTO BETTER THINGS
BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?
YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?
YOU’D LIKE US TO STILL BE FRIENDS
AS IF THAT WILL MAKE AMENDS
YOU’VE GOT TO BE FREE
YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?

CHORUS 1

I’VE BEEN THINKING THIS OVER
TRYING TO FIND A REASON
FOR THIS OVERNIGHT CHANGE OF MIND
THAT’S LEFT ME IN THE COLD
ITS AN ILL WIND THAT HAS BLOWN ME DOWN
AND DROWNED OUT MY PLEA
I’M ALL AT SEA
YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?

VERSE 2

I BET THERE'S ANOTHER MAN
WHOSE MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR PLANS
BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?
YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?
HE’LL LIKELY HAVE A DEGREE
WITH ‘HOME WRECKER’ ON HIS CV
A WHIZZ KID ON PC’S
YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?

CHORUS 2

I’VE BEEN CLIMBING THE WALLS OF THIS HOME
WE MADE TOGETHER
TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF IT ALL
I’M LEFT OUT IN THE COLD
WELL THEY SAY THE GRASS IS GREENER
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET
I’M IN TOO DEEP YEAH SO WHAT ABOUT ME?

VERSE 1

AS TIME GOES BY I FIND MYSELF REMEMBERING
THE THINGS YOU SAID AND DID WHEN I WAS YOUNG
THE PHONEY PEACE THE LACK OF RHYME OR REASON
THE SECRET LIFE KEPT HIDDEN THROUGH THE YEARS

CHORUS

YOU WERE ALWAYS A CLOSED BOOK TO ME
THERE IS NOTHING AS BLIND
AS A MAN WHO WON'T SEE
WHERE HE'S GOING WRONG
AS HIS DREAMS FALL THROUGH
YOU WERE ALWAYS A CLOSED BOOK TO ME
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN A PAINFUL HISTORY
I WON'T BE THE SAME AS YOU

VERSE 2

YOUR LIFE OF LIES HAS LEFT SUCH BITTER MEMORIES
SO SAD IM SURE I’LL TAKE THEM TO MY GRAVE
YOU LEFT SO MUCH UNHEARD UNSEEN UNSPOKEN
COVERED UP BY A SMOKE FILLED DRUNKEN HAZE

I’LL NEVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
NOW I’VE A SON HERE AT HOME
I MADE THE BREAK NOW I’LL FIND THE TIME
TO HELP SOME DREAMS OF HIS OWN

VERSE 1

I’VE BEEN STUCK HERE IN THIS JAM
FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE A MILLION YEARS
I’VE BEAT THE DASH AND CURSED MY LUCK
AND SHED A FLOOD OF TEARS
BUT THIS ROAD OF GOOD INTENTIONS
IS NOW A CAR PARK OF DESPAIR
I NEED MORE THAN JUST GOOD LUCK TO GET ME THERE

VERSE 2

I’VE PAID MY TAX AND THEN SOME
TO HIT THE OPEN ROAD
I PASSED THE TEST I GOT A LOAN
I KNOW MY HIGHWAY CODE
BUT I’M HEADING FOR A BREAKDOWN
IN THIS CAR PARK OF DESPAIR
THE SOUND OF SCREAMING TYRES FILLS THE AIR

CHORUS

I’VE BEEN DRIVIN’ CRAZY
NOW I CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
THE ROAD AHEAD LOOKS HAZY
NOW I CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
I CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME

SO IF YOU SEE A BAG OF BONES
SAT DOWN BEHIND THE WHEEL
ITS LIKELY THAT ITS NOT JUST FOR THE
WANT OF A GOOD MEAL
ITS JUST I LOST THE EXIT
FROM THIS CAR PARK OF DESPAIR
ENJOY THIS OPEN ROAD IF YOU DARE
