UNTIL WE'RE DONE

I know it won't last
But my dearest
Until we're done
What an almighty mess
We're going to make

I fell in love
With the sneaking around
Between the rumours
And your wicked smile
There's a whole world
Of chimera
And now
I can't let it go

Round the corner
Where no one can see
I know every outline
Of the scene of the crime
Keep hiding
Behind the fake walls
Until they call cut

I'm on fire under water
The red flags were flying
But I was colour blind
X marks the spot
Behind the torn curtain
Where it all
Went to hell

The stars aligned
Inside the make-believe
In the northern sky
But they didn't shine
Bright enough
The world turns in colour
With you it was always
Black and white

I nearly fell off the edge
Went the long way round
Didn't see
The cold hard truth
Until it had
Frozen me under
And I was
Sinking deeper

Now you're just a ghost
In my heart
I've flown away
From my troubles
So many times
But never
Learned a thing
