The moment you cut the cable
 The rest of the world goes drifting by
 Leaving you high and dry

 Your love was there waiting to slip me the key
 It's just that behind my curtain
 Your love wasn't getting through to me
 And setting my spirit free

 What started me thinking of changing the plan,
 What took me so long to find out
 That you only want me as I am?

 See how the silence sends it on down to you
 Now all you need is to believe it's true

 This lesson is over, this message got through
 I'm turning the corner
 You know that I'm coming back to you
 To be the one I can be

 I know you told me but I had to find it out for myself
 Oh sweet baby I cried
 And when I saw the way I hurt you
 Saw the tears in your eyes
 But now it's different cos I'm learning from my past mistakes
 And I never make the same one twice
 Listen to me when I tell you this is no disguise

 See how etc
