lyrics

In vicious circles, nothing changes but the colour of your hair
Now even we no longer believe in the dreams we used to share.
And yet you say you love me and always will
But love must not be unconditional
There’re certain things that you should want from me.
Cos if you loved me then, how can you still love me when
There’s really not a great deal left of what I used to be?

Past – hysteric
Present – tense
Future – perfect
At least that’s what I meant for us to be
But I don’t know why you love me.

The present’s overrated if you believe it’s all gone wrong
The past is dominated by the one who shouts so loud, so long
Cos life is but a sequence of mis-remembered memories
Instilled with far more consequence than anyone who shared them would believe.
And I have lost all meaning, lost my sense of wonder
And I’m losing all significance: now I’m losing you.

Past – hysteric
Present – tense
Future – perfect
At least that’s what I meant for us to be
But I don’t know why you love me.

But love must not be unconditional
There’re certain things that you should want from me.
Cos if you loved me then, how can you still love me when
There’s really not a great deal left of what I used to be?

Past – hysteric
Present – tense
Future – perfect
At least that’s what I meant for us to be
But I don’t know why you love me.
