intro :
I ve driven round in circles for three hours
it was bound to happen that I d up at yours
I temporarily forgot that there s better days to come
I thought that I would give you just one more chance
cos I want, tonight, what I ve been waiting for
but I found, tonight, what I d been warned about
you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
well it s taken me a while to see, you re not so special
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words
so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down
and I ve seen, tonight, what I d been warned about
I m gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind
so see you when you re 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you ll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
you think misery will make you stand out from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today
I wouldn t have picked you out
I wouldn t have picked you out
now I ve seen, tonight, how could I waste my time
and I ll be on my way and I won t be back
cos I ve seen, tonight, what I ve been warned about
you re just a boy, not a man, and I m not coming back
