I'm one-eyed, I see your shape as a picture
Flat and pale like a knife, you're just a wife and a daughter
I told too many lies just to watch you sink inside
Left my fervour behind and the smoke made me blind
You, you never know just when to give up
You, you never know just when to give up
I'm your guy, I made a pact with the mirror
Kept your words in my mind, there's nothing kinder than fear
I hoped that you'd be mine when you said you lost your mind
All the details of mine, every word was a lie
You, you never know just when to give up
You, you never know just when to give up
How much can I take, my heart won't you break
Honey, it's too late, my love won't you take
Tell me you're afraid, there's no other way
Give it to me straight, my heart won't you take
