I've been repressed, to a life of second-best.
And this shade of lust just doesn't suit me.
California, down San Francisco way, yeah. I had a girly up-state.
Her brains were bad, but her ass was great.
She's love me when she could, but never call me when she should.
That's when I understood that I was too loved-up to see I'm being played.
I packed up my shit and moved away.
Night time gets hard sometimes,
While you're sleeping with him, i'm dreaming;
Of a white wedding on a Valentines.
Where i'm not left stranded…
Fast-forward a year or two; homeboy's got the blues…
Just heard sad, sad, news - Wedding bells can be heard in hell.
Burning through the night into your orbit like a satellite,
And then lightning strikes. Flames all round, it's over now.
And now I drink to kill the pain...
Night time gets hard sometimes,
While you're sleeping with him, i'm dreaming;
Of a white wedding on a Valentines.
Where i'm not left stranded at the alter, abandoned.
This is the story of (This is the story of),
The one that got away, got away with murder.
I feel you deep within, diggin' away, like skeletons trying to find a way out my skin.
I feel you deep within', just can't get over it.
Night time gets hard sometimes,
While you're sleeping with him, i'm dreaming;
Of a white wedding on a Valentines.
Where i'm not left stranded at the alter, abandoned.
This is the story of (This is the story of),
The one that got away, got away with murder.
Night time gets hard sometimes (You got away with murder).
