Tried my best to put things right

But my world was dressed up in black and white

The colours all drained out in the straightest of lines

Left me with scars and a stare for a smile

Now I need someone to show me how to be

Cos the man I was

Wasn’t even that much like me

Took the side-road to a broken world

Looking for solace dressed up as a girl

The houses were photographs of streets that I knew

They left me so cold and kept me confused

Now I need something to show me where I am

As I walk these roads alone

The only way that I can

If I need it much more than I ever should

Then you’d come back to me

I know that you would

I need to escape from the world that we’re in

To a world where you just won’t let me back in

Tried my best to pull myself back together again

I see the future in the brightest light

But it’s getting there and God knows when

Now I need someone to show me how to be

Cos the man I was

Wasn’t even that much like me
