Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse)
Won’t take the blame You won’t explain anything How should I respond When you claim nothing’s wrong Gotta' get back to where I used to be Before I had your eyes on me You know, you know (Chorus) It’s such a pity, it’s not a crime Cause boy, you’ve stolen my peace of mind I searched all over, across the pond Torn to pieces, oh my God What I need doesn't (come easily?) To make me forget that it was all in vain It’s such a pity, it’s not a crime You let the fire in my eyes, die out |
