Well she calls me up when she's broken
says to leave my front door open
I come home to find her smoking
with her eyes all fragile and thin
She's always been hopeless at hoping
always coped badly with coping
I never know when she's joking
She never lets anyone in
I know I'm a fool to let her
run away with my heart
but she'll never tire
of these games
Loving her is like playing
catch in the dark
I'm a teardrop in an ocean
of flames
And we'll drink too much for a wednesday
she asks me why none of her men stay
and I tell her just what her friends say
it never goes down too well
We should stay here till late in the evening
but she is always arriving or leaving
She never decides to believe in
the people who know her so well
Refrão
I know I'm a fool to let her
run away with my heart
but she'll never tire
of these games
Loving her is like playing
catch in the dark
I'm a teardrop in an ocean
of flames
She says if we're still single at 40
we'll get married and move to the country
but I know she'll never want me
And it's 5:15 in the morning
I reach for her whilst I'm yawning
she leaves me with no warning
