He sits alone at a table in a small cafe Drowning his tears in a bottemless cup of coffee And he's tumbeling into his thoughts His memories all tied in knots Who is going to save him? 'cause no one wants to know him I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life live a lie We all have a saviour So do yourself a favour Stop living the lie She stands alone in a place where no one knows her name She catches them staring they turn round and finish the frame And she's nursing her head and her pride She died long ago deep down inside And who is going to save her? 'cause no one wants to know her I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life live a lie We all have a saviour So do yourself a favour Stop living the lie He sits alone and looks up to the eyes of an angel She catches him staring and then smiles the smile of an angel And she asks him if this chair is free he said yes but you sit here with me And no one would have saved them And we sould all learn from them (Yeah) I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry You stick in the knife then give the kiss of life live a lie We all have a saviour So do yourself a favour Stop living the lie
