Aching (feat. Nella)

Are you looking for an invitation?

To come and live with a constant aching?

Have been wandering round and round

Trying to forget the sound of my heart breaking

There are traces of dark places

I have been to in my head

But they're fading

And the animal is waking up again

I see these diamonds in the dust

(You say they're only stones)

But I can show you what they're worth

(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

And if you're looking for perfection in me

All you'll get is constant aching

All you'll get is constant...

(You say they're only stones)

(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

It's like placing bets after the races

To take the risk is too complicated

This is our life, how can we face it?

It's only emptiness, so chase it

Take a picture of your life

Before the light begins to fade

Cause a photograph is all you'll have

When no one is left to say...

I see these diamonds in the dust

(You say they're only stones)

But I can show you what they're worth

(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

And if you're looking for perfection in me

All you'll get is constant aching

(You say they're only stones)

(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

All you'll get is constant...

(You say they're only stones)

(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)
