lyrics

You've been shown but you just don't see it
You're on your own but you think you're needed
You're unknown but you don't think you are
You've been told but you just won't listen
You caught hold but you think you're slipping
Maybe baby I've been here too long
With you still humming the same old sing-along

It goes, la-la, la, la, la, oo-oo
You're so in love with me but I am not in love with you x2

I'm sure that's what you'd like to believe
But things look very different to me
You're not some saviour I just touch to be healed

I think there's something you should know
Maybe I will reveal myself maybe I won't
God knows it's hard enough these days to leave my home

You could call me up, you could write me a letter
You can call me Ishmael, if it makes you feel better
You could stand outside my door, sure, I'd let you in
Why is it always me who's out on a limb

You got caught but you just denied it
You were fraught but it soon subsided
You've been taught not to trust anyone
You've been used honey I don't doubt it
You're confused when you think about it
Maybe they've all treated you badly
But I'm not them and I'm no judge sadly

You sing, la-la, la, la, la, oo-oo
You're so in love with me but I am not in love with you x2

I'm sure that's what you'd like to believe
But things look very different to me
You're not some jailer I just bribe to get free

I think there's something you should know
Maybe I will reveal myself maybe I won't
God knows it's hard enough these days to be at home

But you could call me up, you could write me a letter,
You can call me Ishmael, if it makes you feel better
You could stand outside my door, sure, I'd let you in
Why is it always me who's out on a limb

Maybe I will reveal myself maybe I won't
God knows it's hard enough these days to be alone
And why must it always be me
