I try and tell myself its not that complicated but I cant work it out

And the jaded looks that you just keep on firing is there someone else

I swear you used to look at me as if you liked me and now its clear you don't

And the love we used to have is right beside me, oh the less you know

Don’t stand so close to me

You know I'll let you go

I saw you on MTV and i'm no rolling stone

I have given you everything despite what you've been told

Don’t stand so close to me

You know i'll let you go

Young love just dies, I often wonder why

Old friends pass by again we'll lose in time

I swear you used to look at me as if you liked me and now its clear you don't

And the love we used to have is right beside me, oh the less you know

I never thought I'd ever want or need another life

I never thought I'd ever want or need another life

Don’t stand so close to me

You know I'll let you go

I saw you on MTV and i'm no rolling stone

I have given you everything despite what you've been told

Don’t stand so close to me

You know i'll let you go

I never thought I'd ever want or need another life

I never thought I'd ever want or need another life

But all my bad decisions sat me down and smacked me twice

I never thought I'd ever want or need another life
