Songtext zu 'For Those' von Tindersticks

Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past
Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground
And I've lost you
I was cheated

It was something belonged only to me
And now it's gone through my own stupidity
And I lost you
I was cheated
Two whole years spent earning your love
Now it's hanging around in the clouds
Well I've lost you
I was cheated

I'm cheated by my own vanity
Whispering rumours, bullying me
Well I spent it
It wasn't worth it

Chorus:
And for those who are not so beautiful as her
Not giving excuses, but oh...
When it's originally tossed away
It can easily be reclaimed by her
By her

All those years spent building myself up
Trying to stop my staring
And start taking two steps instead of one
But they're so gone now

Chorus

Feeling relatively good

I pretend to understand
When those eyes hung on mine
But you know, you get it wrong in the end
I pretend to know what it's about
You choose explanations to soothe myself
But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end

Chorus:
Now I only laugh with people
Who have no reason to care
Feeling good about things that don't mean nothing

I get caught by what you mean
Hey I could love you when you're ever here
But you know, you got it wrong and it's the end
You know what I say, see what I do
There's a part of me still hiding from you
I miss you, there I said it again

Chorus

You know what I say, see what I do
There's a part of me still hiding from you
I miss you, there I said it again

Chorus
