You just say the things you want to hear And like a fool I believed everything was clear But now I feel so distant I don't know what to say The things I thought important are just another day And you and I are miles and miles apart You got me on the road To one more broken heart [Chorus] January February I don't understand Why it is you say you're leaving Then you turn around You won't settle down You've got both feet off the ground January February Don't you come around Wake up I tell myself but I don't even hear One more night, another day, another year It doesn't seem to matter 'Cos you don't seem to care If only there were some way out A way to anywhere 'Cos you and I are miles and miles apart You got me on the road To one more broken heart [Chorus]
