She had something to confess to,
but you don't have the time so,
look the other way
You will wait until it's over:
to reveal what you'd never shown her
too little much too late

Too long trying to resist it,
you've just gone and missed it,
It's escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing,
begging for so much more
than you could ever give

And I don't want you to adore me,
Don't want you to ignore me
when it pleases you
yeah
And, I'll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet,
but you still want to spoil it,
to prove I've made a big mistake
too long trying to resist it,
you've just gone and missed it,
it's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing,
begging for so much more
than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me,
don't want you to ignore me
when it pleases you
yeah...

So I'll do it on my own and
I'll do it all by myself
You will never make it
