Lyrics
This could have been a glorious night
But it isn’t
You could have been embracing me tight
But you aren’t
You’re in your room, I’m in mine
And this is the usual half past nine
And
Chorus
Look at you, look at me
You’re so unhappy, I’m all at sea
And yesterday we bravely said goodbye
Because we’re sensible, that’s why
Look at you, look at me
You’ve smoked up two packs
I’ve poured me three
And yesterday we thought we’d break the spell
With just a little word, “farewell”
But all the lovely visions we decided wed erase
Back to this lonely room they came
I’m looking in the mirror at a very foolish face
And I suppose you’re doing the same
Where’s that smile? where’s that kiss?
What are we proving? we’re proving this
You can’t just take a heart and set it free
Look at you, look at me
