Just Like That

The hours pass so slowly
now that he's gone
one day is like another
but they move on
Somehow I have returned
to the land of the living
but badly burned
I never had the chance of
keeping him here
The song of sirens
was to strong in his ear
And when tomorrow calls
Who would pace like a prisoner
within four walls

He slipped into my life
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
He took a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on
In a way I was the one to deceive
Always accepting the fact he would leave
As though he'd only
stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

And when the day is new
the sun in the sky
Who needs the confrontation
saying good-bye
Who needs that kind of strain
When you're born with an instinct
to shun such pain

He slipped into my life
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
He took a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on
In a way I was the one to deceive
Always accepting the fact he would leave
As though he'd only
stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
