lyrics

then you covered me with kisses
said "i love you"
but i won't get caught out again

seventeen on the cover
twenty-four, twice a mother
but i won't get caught out again

i won't be that saint
that you're looking for
the pedestal is too high for me
and i won't be that man
anymore
it's cynical and miserable to say
but oh, my God, won't you stay?

i thought i'd got your colour
you got close but then you smothered
and i won't get caught out again
i think i'm going under
i can't be just another
and i won't get caught out again

i won't be that saint
that you're looking for
the pedestal is too high for me
and i won't be that man
anymore
it's cynical and miserable to say
oh, my God, won't you say?
and oh my God won't you stay?

the things to write this song...
how did i get it
oh so wrong?
