Making Yourself So Lonely

Verse 1: On the phone you spoke Picking bones with my friends and lovers You said, 'I think you're living in a bubble, darling' So, I thought it through and thought that maybe you could be on to something After all, we all have our little blind spots, don't we? And I looked' I took a good look around me, darling And we stepped, we took a good step away from familiar humdrum Such unforgettable and truly magical times Verse 2: Stop! There I go again, like a fool, trying to paint the perfect picture It's easy to romanticise when you're in the distance, darling But it wasn't easy was it, I mean, you never really seemed truly happy And there I was, drunk in love and drowning on a daydream, daily As you stripped, you stripped me away like paint work, darling And you picked; you picked me apart and left me in a million pieces No need to sympathise, but try to realise this: Chorus: You're making yourself so lonely, darling It's making me feel so lost to know Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please. Verse 3: So, looking back now it's funny how I really had the blinkers on me Like a firework, free falling, 'til I hit the concrete floor Where my friends picked me back up and held me, darling It was them and the family who really got me back to hear the music I hope you got the same and cut out your love games, cos... Chorus (x2) Verse 4: Yes, it's obvious, well I shouldn't really need to say this, but, The truth is that I miss you.
