Lyrics

Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
And what do I care if she leaves me alone
If I need somebody I'll pick up the phone
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
I'm starting all over, goodbye to all that
Put on some music and pour out a drink
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think

Someone to talk to, to talk to me
Someone to talk to, to talk to me

She was a person I just couldn't see
I tried to make her what she couldn't be
I tried and I tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone
When I kept on saying I must be alone

Someone to talk to, to talk to me
Someone to talk to, to talk to me

I love you, why didn't I say that before
I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending your strong
I didn't see her, I only felt me
And one day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late

Someone to talk to, to talk to me
Someone to talk to, to talk to me

Only one that I can see
Is holding out the hand of love to me
Shall I wait for another day
See the strangers on their way 
In and out of shadow land
Only you can understand
No one had to tear it down

Goodbye Tomorrow 
(6x)

Put me by that womankind
Voice to say that I must find 
One who only walks at night
Only she can put you right
In and out of shadow land
Even though I understand
Come and help me tear it down

Goodbye Tomorrow
(6x)

Goodbye Tomorrow

Do I keep on running blind
Leave the one I love behind
Maybe more will come to me
Bring me someone I can see
In and out of shadow land
Bring me love I understand
No one help me tear it down

Goodbye Tomorrow
(13x)
