I'm sure you saw the news:
"There's a thousand people that are ready to love you".
And me being the only one
I shuttered at the sound of you leaving.
You say it's not the end of the world
but it's the end of the world when you don't have your girl
That's why I do the things I do
In hope that you will pity them to.
On your windowsill
There's a picture of you and Phil.
I think about breaking it in
So that I could sleep next to you every night.
But I'm sure you'll find another lover
Just like I found you.
The lucky bastard gets to hold your hand
And say he loves you.
How's ready for some new news? A broadcast that I choose.
Just one that I don't loose all my ties to you.
I stand here phone in hand: "Why can't you just understand?
I don't want you to loose all my ties to you."
