I'VE COME TODAY
TO SET THIS STRAIGHT
SO HEAR WHAT I'VE TO SAY
A FEW MOMENTS OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN

NO I WON'T GO
YOU'VE HAD YOUR SAY
IT'S ONLY YOUR ACCOUNT
YOU BLAME ME FOR WHAT WE'VE BECOME
IT'S TIME YOU HEARD ME OUT

BY THE SOUND OF YOUR BEATING HEART IT HURTS
BY THE SOUND HERE FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
CONTENT TO STAY WHEN YOU'RE PULLING BACK FROM ME
WE'LL GIVE IT UP
WE'LL MAKE IT UP AS WE GO

I'D LIKE TO LEAVE THE SUFFERING
WITH THE HATRED AND ALL IT'S GRIEF
BELIEVE ME WE'RE RECOVERING
AND THE FACT IS I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE

COS I GAVE IT TIME AND I GAVE YOU MINE
THINKING WE COULD STRUGGLE ON
BUT YOU LEFT OUR BED
LEFT FOR THEM INSTEAD
ARE YOU SORRY NOW I'M GONE?

BY THE SOUND OF YOUR BEATING HEART IT HURTS
BY THE SOUND HERE FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
CONTENT TO STAY WHEN YOU'RE PULLING BACK FROM ME
WE'LL GIVE IT UP
WE'LL MAKE IT UP AS WE GO

WHEN YOU WAKE UP, WHEN YOU WAKE UP
DON'T WASTE YOUR HEART IN MOURNING ME
WHEN YOU WAKE UP, WHEN YOU WAKE UP
WE'RE JUST ANOTHER MEMORY

BY THE SOUND OF YOUR BEATING HEART IT HURTS
BY THE SOUND HERE FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
CONTENT TO STAY WHEN YOU'RE PULLING BACK FROM ME
WE'LL GIVE IT UP
WE'LL MAKE IT UP AS WE GO
