She puts her pen to paper

Lines across their hearts

You did it all to raise her

You left her standing in the dark

This time she ' s praying for silence

Hoping that you would understand

She ' s just building these roadworks

So it ' s clearer when it ' ll end

You can ' t still own what you let go

What don ' t you understand

Tough luck I said I ' d be here in a month

But you waited too

Only coming back ' round

Because you heard I was with someone new

And I was waiting here to you came back

My heart was bleeding black

It ' s tough luck that I ' m giving you

It ' s tough luck on you

He asked a question she answers

He made a crossword spelling guilt

Empty boxes filled with chances

But you just can ' t leave the rose to wilt

You can ' t still own what you let go

What don ' t you understand

Tough luck I said I ' d be here in a month

But you waited too

Only coming back ' round

Because you heard I was with someone new

And I was waiting here to you came back

My heart was bleeding black

It ' s tough luck that I ' m giving you

It ' s tough luck on you

Tough luck I said I ' d be here in a month

But you waited too

Only coming back ' round

Because you heard I was with someone new

And I was waiting here to you came back

My heart was bleeding black

It ' s tough luck that I ' m giving you

It ' s tough luck on you
