And I Know - Alison Moyet

She told me today I’m in your way

She says you’re heading somewhere

You’ve a long way to go

Even more than she knows

She thinks you’re half the way there

You’ve learnt nothing much at all

No doubt you told her that you stayed with me through pity

Honorable you

Oh go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I let you down

I’m not the girl you met oh no

And if I smile just a little

Forgive me but I’ve read that book as well

And I know.

You know

Oh now I’m so intrigued

Your life’s such a read

It must be torture for you

Unlike one such as me

You know all that I need is to pick up after you

You don’t understand at all

You move amongst us like some alien higher being

Skimming no plane but yours

So go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I’m off my head

I keep you from yourself

And I can’t help but smile a little

Remembering all you choose to forget

And I know

You know that I still feel the world revolving miles beneath my feet

You and I were hapless space cadets

Mirrored when we meet

When I was coming down you let me fall alone

Now I think that you’ve been up too long

You’ve learnt nothing much at all

You move amongst us like some alien higher being

Seeing no pain but yours

Oh go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I let you down

I’m not the girl you met oh no

And if I smile just a little

Forgive me but I’ve read that book as well

And I know.

You know
