Small Disasters

Rest my head against the wall

Waiting for a call that never came

'Cause time moves so slowly when you're still holding onto blame

I tried but can't forget the day

You were reaching for my hand as I touched your face

When your secrets were still safe from me

Till your eyes gave you away

'Cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real

And now I see the warning signs

With the benefit of hindsight I was blind

To the way you'd make me feel so crazy

Just to protect your lies

And all I wanted was the truth

The better part of you that I still see

'Cause love is all we have to give

But you took my best for free

'Cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real

And the one thing that really hurts is

We were so close to being perfect

And I know you'll be okay

And that's what kills me, yeah

'Cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

'Cause we are drowning

Above the water

In a movie drained of colour

Luckless lovers

With a past that's just a string of small disasters

I'd give it all just to feel something real

(Something real)

Oh, I'd give it all just to feel something real
