Snow Patrol - OnOff LYRICS

I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Faces all screwed up like what I'd done

I didn't mean to hurt you so much

I knew it would hurt you but not like this

We all make a mess from time to time dear

But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared

Somebody muttered something under their breath

But I let on like I was a little deaf



Nobody's perfect that's what I say

No one has hurt me so much you say

I'm sorry



Running away seemed like the easy

Thing to do because I wanted time

To put a smile back on my dour face

For once nothing's missing and I feel fine

I was afraid to tell you some things

But some things all find a way to get told

Hearing it from the lips of somebody else

Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet face
