lyrics

I have finally reached that lovely place
Where I don’t wake up in the morning
And stretch my arms around this bed
Looking for your body next to mine.

I’m happy with my lot though it might not
Seem like much but it’s home
And I have painted and I have cleaned
Every trace of you from this room.

I have found thirty-five hairpins of yours
In my room stuck between the floorboards
Getting rid of them has been like getting rid of you
When I think I’m finished I find more.

And I have had to start lying to my friends
Just so they don’t have to worry
I tell them all I’m doing just fine but in truth
If I could make you suffer it would cheer me

Yeah those aren’t the thoughts best aired
When you’re trying to appear to be noble
I guess the darker stories of our bitter broken hearts
Are the stories best left untold.

So send me back my books and all the other things of mine
So that I can finally have some peace
And keep your cheating heart and lies out of my life
Oh Victoria, you’re too much for me,

I have found thirty-five hairpins of yours
In my room stuck between the floorboards
Getting rid of them has been like getting rid of you
When I think I’m finished I find more.

So send me back my books and all the other things of mine
So that I can finally have some peace
And keep your cheating heart and lies out of my life
Oh Victoria, you’re too much for me,

I have found thirty-five hairpins of yours
In my room stuck between the floorboards
Getting rid of them has been like getting rid of you
When I think I’m finished I find more.
