I can feel the color running As it's fading from my face Try to speak but nothings coming Nothing I could say to make you stay Grabbed your suitcase called a taxi It's 3am now where you gonna go? Gonna stay with friends in London And that's all I get to know Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't' be that far So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can talk you down We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is relationship suicide Cos if you go, I go Taking shortcuts through the alleys While your racing through my mind Cops can chase but they wont catch me Not before I get to speak my mind If there's still time Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't be that far So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can talk you down We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is relationship suicide Cos if you go, I go Cos if you go, I go Cos if you go, I go Cos if you go, I go We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head Just a cigarette gone No you couldn't be that far So I'm driving in my car where I hope you are Maybe I can talk you down Maybe I can turn around We're standing on a tiny ledge Before this goes over the edge Gonna use my heart and not my head And try to open up your eyes This is relationship suicide
