  • When it started we had high hopes
    Now my back's on the line
    My back's on the ropes
    When it started we were alright
    But night makes a fool of us in daylight

    Yeah we were dying of frustration
    Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"
    But it's not easy when she turns you on
    Since they gone

    If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
    Whether you will's anybody's guess
    God only, God knows I'm trying my best
    But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

    So, up they picked me by the big toe
    I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
    There's only screaming
    Let the windows, down
    As I crawl to the ground

    If you'll only, if you'd only say yes
    Whether you will's anybody's guess
    God, only God knows she won't let me rest
    But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
    I've become so tired of this loneliness Writer/s: Christopher Anthony John Martin, Guy Rupert Berryman, Jonathan Mark Buckland, William Champion
