lyrics

You took your time didn’t you?
You never lied like the others used to
And I never really knew you
But now your life story’s suddenly see-through
I guess that’s ok
Because there’s nothing that we can do
Except wait
Till we’re beaten, black and blue

Your tattoos tell a tale or two
You loved your mam like I never could do
And the bright lights would sometimes blind you
But I knew you’d always come to me rescue

We just needed more time
But that’s the one thing I can’t give you
And so I’m left here
Beaten, black and blue

Even though you’re half the reason that I never did much with my life
You always gave me everything ‘cos you were never sure what I’d like
I wish I’d kept it ‘cos it’s not the sort of thing you can buy now
So goodbye now
I think we know where we stand

You took your time didn’t you?
