Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wonder why
I don't know what you see
Of course I care
I won't pretend
[Chorus]
It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me?
Always wants me
I can hardly pray
[Verse 2]
I could try
But don't know what you hear
'Cause in my heart
You were so clear
[Chorus]
It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me?
Always wants me
I can hardly pray
[Verse 3]
On your stage
A show that you create
All by yourself
I am nowhere
You never noticed
You were so sure
[Chorus]
Don't you know life turns me?
Always wants me
I can hardly pray
Written by: Adrian Utley, Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow
