I’m this big fat let down
Time and time and time again
How long have you waited
For me to make amends
Cos it’s really really time to stop with this
She loves me - she loves me not business
I’m ready now, I’m ready for you now
Call it on or call it off on off
(Here I am) I know you hate that you adore me
(Here I am) But when I text you don’t ignore me
(Here I am) Cos when your standing right before me
You seem blasé
Something has changed
You don’t meet my gaze
With the intensity you used to
Stop glancing away
Stuck for what to say
I’m tired of this game
If you’re gonna break my heart then break it
If you’re gonna take my heart then take it
Just don’t leave me standing on this high wire
See I’ve never been more unsure
I'll book those flights to Spain again
But you’re intent on staying
What the hell who for
It’s becoming really fairly obvious
This story's 'bout to take a major twist
I’m ready now
I’m ready for you now
Still you keep me hanging on and on and off
(Here I am) I know you say that you adore me
(Here I am) Those lines you speak aren’t really for me
(Here I am) Cos when you’re standing right before me
You seem blasé
Something has changed
Don’t meet my gaze
With the intensity you used to
Stop glancing away
Stuck for what to say
I’m tired of this game
If you’re gonna break my heart then break it
If you’re gonna take my heart then take it
Just don’t leave me standing on this high wire
Fifty-one years, nine months, four days
Is that how long I’ll have to wait
Fifty-one years, nine months, fours day
Is that how long I’ll have to pay
