In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round I stand there for a minute staring straight into the ground Looking to the left slightly then looking back down World feels like its caved in, proper sorry frown Please let me show you how we could only just be for us I can change and I can grow or we can adjust The wicked thing about us is we always have trust We can even have an open relationship, if we must I look at her, she stares almost straight back at me But her eyes glaze over like she's looking straight through me Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity When they opened up she's lookin' down at her feet Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now, its over So then I moved my hand off and down by my side, shaking My life is crashing before my eyes Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies Touched the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh 'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me There's things I can't imagine doing, things I can't imagine seeing It weren't supposed to be easy, surely Please please, I'm begging, please She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested She wraps her fingers 'round mine with the softness she's blessed with She peels away my fingers looks at me and then gestures By pushing my hand away to my chest from hers Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now, its over And I'm just standing there I can't say a word 'Cause everything has just gone I've got nothing Absolutely nothing Trying to pull her close out of bare desperation Put my arms around her to try to change what she's saying Put my head level with hers so she might engage in Look into her eyes to make her listen again I'm not gonna fuckin' just fuckin' leave it all now 'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow And your gonna let our things simply crash and fall down Your well out of order now, this is well out of town She pulls away, my arms that are tightly clamped around her waist Gently pushes me back as she looks at me straight Turns around so she's now got her back to my face Takes one step forward, looks back and then walks away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now, its over I know in the past I've found it hard to say Telling you things but not telling straight But the more I pull on your hand and say The more you pull away Dry your eyes mate I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up There's plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you've got to walk away now
