lyrics

I thought I saw you like a prize
Stood on the corner in the city of your eyes
Another lonely New Year's Eve
I turned my coat up and I stopped to watch you leave

There was something in the air
Fairy tales of coloured lights played hide and seek around your hair
Disco music from a bar
Amplified their happiness and drowned the sound of my guitar
I should have told you, I lacked the nerve
I may have muttered something but it's nothing you've not heard
So please forgive me if I write
That I won't be home tonight

Even if it's true
We've all been betrayed
Like a bad tattoo
The memory of it fades
But still there's no reprieve
My little new year's eve

There was writing on the wall
Words from that old love song sweetly written in graffiti scrawl
Seemed a little out of place
Set against the foreground of the desolation on your face
I could have stopped you
I'm almost sure
But you were on the bridge before I worked out what the stones were for
So please forgive me if I say
That we have both had better days

Chorus
