fuck off to the highlands,
and drop off the end
i vow i will send my love
if you see me smiling,
its only pretend
i'm still getting used to my morals
time, time heals, time, time can't heal this
so if you fuck off to the highlands
i don't hope you'll write,
i don't hope you'll read my letters
it'll be a long while and if you see the light
you'll know at least that you made it at all better
inside side side your mind
century breaks,
will you break century
folk like you they always do, must be the way
when the air is so much colder, i just hope you warm to getting older
is it a burden or dya wear it as a badge of honour?
when one person says the opposite of things you thought they'd say
just try remember that they're separate and look the other way
cos i spoke of you again last night and, broke a bottle in my hand
i'd need stitches for the second time if i saw you again
i need to, make a decision i wish i didn't have to make
break in a notion i guessed i'd never need to break
i think i'm cutting you out
(make him colder make make him colder, they sing
make him colder theres no returning from it
make him colder i can't console ya its looking pretty bad from where i'm standing
x2
its looking pretty bad mate)
(and i fall down, my face it hits the ground
and i fall down my face it hits the ground
i'd call you to calm me down, but therein lies the crutch
i hate you so much, i hate you so much)
