No-one's fault

Every single night; I lie awake and think how it’ll feel when you go
You’ve left so many times; and every time you do I try to not let it show
I look around the room I see your books and smell your clothes and know the space that they’ll leave
It's not enough for you; but to me this all means more than I know you can conceive
These things were all too much for love not yet tough
It didn't have the time to grow strong enough
So I'll let it go
No-one's fault you won't come home

Every time I see a girl who holds my eyes or stares then all I think of is you
Like thunder drowns out rain or the sunlight dazzles stars they couldn’t stand in your shoes
All they do to me; is taunt me with the thought of what we're going to lose
The beauty and the fun, the adventure just begun - cause it's not what you choose
So long apart and yet you've been here every day
So when you leave it'll feel like separate ways

But I'll let it go
No-one's fault you won't come home

I’m sitting here alone; your Rachel Whiteread space is as concrete as brick
And I’m a Damien Hirst – sliced and diced in glass and making everyone sick
Your painting’s left the wall; there’s nothing there at all but all I see is the Scream
You stayed so long away; that what I know was real now just seems like a dream
I knew that this would be so hard and it's been too much
I told you long ago I knew it could fuck us up

I have to let it go
All I want I'll never hold
Felt the fire, now feel cold
No-one's fault you won't come home
Felt the fire, now feel cold
No-one's fault you won't come home (REPEAT LAST TWO LINES)
