I want to tell you something
|
It's not a secret or anything
|
You're not alone in being alone
|
At the end of a perfect day
|
And if you leave all your dependents
|
Then they will gain their independence
|
Don't make a martyr of yourself
|
It's just the end of a perfect day
|
And it's never how it seems
|
The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
|
But in a written testimonial I'd say
|
I never really knew you anyway
|
|
I want to tell you something
|
Now don't go crazy or anything
|
Just want to tell you that it's over
|
It's the end of a perfect day
|
Do you want sign language?
|
Don't want a knuckle sandwich!
|
Now you can love or you can hate it's just
|
The end of a perfect day
|
You can't get inside someone
|
So don't ask me if we're close
|
I really couldn't tell you
|
But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway
|
It's a pain you have to bear
|
And it's always going to be there
|
But if you disappeared tomorrow
|
Then the world would carry on without you anyway
|
|
Mind over matter it seems
|
Can stop you falling apart at the seams
|
It's a matter of honour with me
|
I could write out a hundred times
|
Put my hand on my heart and say
|
That I don't want to lie
|
Don't want to lie
|
Don't want to lie
|
About the way it is
|
|
I want to tell you something
|
Don't act surprised now or anything
|
Now you can revel in yourself 'cause
|
It's just the end of a perfect day
|
No it's not a pretty world out there
|
With people dying of their own despair
|
But in a written testimonial you'd say
|
You never really knew them anyway
|
I'll never satisfy you
|
I'll never even try to
|
I really couldn't tell, it just depends what you remember
|
At the end of a perfect day
|
