Bittersweet — текст песни (Everything But The Girl)

don`t talk to me in that familiar way
when the keys are in my hand
don`t say that everything is here to stay
and I must try to understand
when I`m trying not to look into your eyes
trying not to listen to your lies
trying just to keep hold of myself
oh but it`s hard when you leave me on the shelf

you say that I set a path for you to follow
and I`ve already given in
but I only meant for you to taste not swallow
where I end is where you must begibn
so try not to look into their eyes
try not to listen to their lies
try just to keep hold of yourself
oh I know it`s hard when they leave you on their shelf

she`s such a sweet girl
free of the taints of this world
think that`s a compliment
don`t be so full of sentiment
why you worship sweetness
what virtue`s there in weakness
being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know
