Oh I wake up feeling the same way every day
Aching numb with the pain that I can't chase away
So I'm wondering who's taking up your sacred precious time
Living from day to day without a single sign
Would I lie? Oh no
One word, one letter, one line
And I'd feel a whole lot better
One look would way it's alright
And I'd feel a whole lot better

My heart breaks the way you turn your back and carry on
And my head hurts 'cause I just can't work out why it all went wrong
So I'm wondering, oh the more I think the less I understand
Leaving is easy when you know you're in command
Would I lie? oh no
One word, one letter, one line
And I'd feel a whole lot better
One look would way it's alright
And I'd feel a whole lot better

Would I try, try to keep
Just a little something that means nothing to me
Ooh why pretend that I'm in that deep
Lord, I thought you knew me, ooh yeah
One word, one letter, one line
And I'd feel a whole lot better
One look would way it's alright
And I'd feel a whole lot better
