I was a backing track Saving my green voice's back Disguising the obvious That I had no one to sing for I lived in a paper bin Which I lay curled up and forgotten in With an unfinished lover's hymn Tattooed on my forehead
Oh, where were you Had I known you then The outcome would have been better
I got used to the treadmill love Where no matter how fast you run You're stuck at the starting point Only exhausted I was the anonymous author Of songs I'd not dared to share Lacking the audience Of a lover's ear
Oh, where were you Had I known you then The outcome would have been better
You could have prevented this You could have prevented this You could have prevented this You could have prevented this
Oh, where were you? Had you known me then The outcome would have been better
