Lyrics
The English language is a funny thing
Dress your words up in pretty daisies
Just to hide the serpent within
If forever meant never
If only you meant whoever
Then maybe I should have paid more attention
But pretty words, they make me cry
The breath from my lips dies
Just to hear your rose coloured lie
Heaven forbid I count the stars
The way you taught me to
Too careless with my own heart
Thought I had played by the rules
But it was you who has played from the start
Now all that's left
Are lessons learnt
From you
Waiting for you taught me how to
Count the hours just for you to
Give me the time of the day
And I learnt how to count my pennies
Just to buy my spot
to be in your thoughts
But pretty words, they make me cry
They leave like the sigh
That you left when you said goodbye
Heaven forbid I count the stars
The way you taught me to
Too careless with my own heart
Thought I had played by the rules
But it was you who has played from the start
Now all that's left
Are lessons learnt
From you
From, from
From, from
From, from
You
'Cause all that's left
All that's left
