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
