So long, London (So long, London),So long, London (So long, London)
So long, London (So long, London)
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried
So long, London (So long, London)
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
I kept calm and carried
the weight of the rift
Pulled him in tighter each time
Pulled him in tighter each time
he was drifting away
My spine split from carrying us up the hill
Wet through my clothes, weary bones
caught the chill
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
Thinking how much
I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe
Thinking how much
sad did you think I had
Did you think I had in me?
Oh, the tragedy
So long, London,You'll find someone
Did you think I had in me?
Oh, the tragedy
So long, London,You'll find someone
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out
I founded the club she's heard
I founded the club she's heard
great things about
I left all I knew, you left me at the
I left all I knew, you left me at the
house by the Heath
I stopped CPR, after all, it's no use
The spirit was gone, we would never come to
And I'm pissed off you let me give
you all that youth for free
For so long, London,Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun,I'll find someone
And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it
My white-knuckle
For so long, London,Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun,I'll find someone
And you say I abandoned the ship
But I was going down with it
My white-knuckle
dying grip
Holding tight to your
Holding tight to your
quiet resentment
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
Every day of a
And my friends said it isn't right to be scared
Every day of a
love affair
Every breath feels like rarest air
When you're not sure if he wants to be there
So how much sad
did you think I had,Did you think I had in me?
How much tragedy?
How much tragedy?
Just how low did you think I'd go
Before I'd self-implode?
Before I'd have to go be free?
Before I'd self-implode?
Before I'd have to go be free?
You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
You sacrificed us to the
I died on the altar waiting for the proof
You sacrificed us to the
gods of your bluest days
And I'm just getting
And I'm just getting
color back into my face
I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place
For so long, London (So long, London)
Had a good run (Had a good run)
A moment of warm sun
I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place
For so long, London (So long, London)
Had a good run (Had a good run)
A moment of warm sun
(Moment of warm sun)
But I'm not the one (I'm not the one)
So long, London (So long, London)
Stitches undone
But I'm not the one (I'm not the one)
So long, London (So long, London)
Stitches undone
(Stitches undone)
Two graves, one gun
Two graves, one gun
(Two graves, one gun)
You'll find someone (You'll find)
