For Those... Songtext

von Tindersticks

Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past
Now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground
And I've lost you
I was cheated

It was something belonging only to me
And now it's gone through my own stupidity
And I lost you
I was cheated
Two whole years spent earning your love
Now it's hanging around in the clouds
Well I've lost you
I was cheated

I'm cheated by my own vanity
Whispering rumours, bullying me
Well I spent it
It wasn't worth it

Chorus:
And for those who are not so beautiful as her
I'm not giving excuses, but oh...
When it's originally tossed away
It can easily be reclaimed by her
By her

All those years spent building myself up
Trying to stop my staring
And start taking two steps instead of one
But they're so gone now



Chorus
