Sorry for wasting your time

Five long months on a telephone line

I was asking if you were fine

And saying I was fine too.



Sorry but I've got to go

The birth was quick but the death was slow

There was so much I didn't know

So much I didn't know about you.



And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us

It's called the life effect, will it always surround us.



Who made you happy last night

I don't know his name but christ can he fight

As I fell he told me you had a light

A light that shone inside you



I found myself a decent man now

I love him because I care

The bravest that I've ever been, is when I ran away from you.



And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us

It's called the life effect, will it always surround us.

And so we disconnect, the room goes quiet around us

Nothing left to protect, the end has finally found us.



The day's almost over, it's almost time for bed

Somebody finally love me, rest your weary head.
