lyrics

In the cold light of day
You decided to show your face
And the mime dressed in black
Said you're useless to him now

So I turned to run away
But there you stood in my way
And a voice called out to me
"Girl, you never really learned to love."

I'm still hanging on....

Now I stand in the past
My eyes focus on the cracks
By this time you've figured out
I'm useless to you now

And the clock on the wall
Says it's time for me to go
And a voice calls out to me,
"Girl, you're better off alone."

And you tried to strip me of everything that's left
In me, I still can't believe...
I let you succeed.

In the cool city scene
Where I wander like a dream
There's a mime, dressed in black
And he like to talk a lot.

And I pass him on the street
And his voice calls out to me,
"Girl, you're the only one you've ever got...."
