  • Your body shape was a warning sign
    With a face made for TV
    I knew it was only just a matter of time
    You were caught in the headlights of your dream
    Now we live in different worlds
    'Cause I'm still working shifts
    While you're putting on pearls
    And I just want to know
    If you're in Manchester, will you come to my show?
    And say
    How you doing?
    Well, I want you to know that I am doing
    Better than I was before
    How you doing?
    Well, I want you to know
    That really
    I'm on your news feed twice a day
    See you in the papers
    I go to all your plays
    Even if I want to I can't look away
    It ain't easy to forget you
    It's all I want to hear you say
    Sometimes I dream about you running away
    You bring your hair and makeup to my flat
    Oh, heaven on earth is a hell of a place
    No one can judge me for trying to get back
    But there was a while ago
    And our delicate youth is starting to get old
    And I just want to know
    If you're in town tonight
    I'd like to say hello
    And
    How you doing?
    Well, I want you to know that I am doing
    Better than I was before
    How you doing?
    Well, I want you to know
    That really
    I'm on your news feed twice a day
    See you in the papers
    I go to all your plays
    Even if I want to
    I can't look away
    It ain't easy to forget you
    It's all I want to hear you say
    I want to hear you say
    There's a part of me you'll take away forever
    And that would do
    So, how you doing?
    Well, I want you to know that I am doing
    Better than I was before
    How you doing?
    Well, I want you to know
    That really
    I'm on your news feed twice a day
    See you in the papers
    I go to all your plays
    Even if I want to
    I can't look away
    It ain't easy to forget you
    It's all I want to hear you say
    Even if I want to
    I can't look away
    It ain't easy to forget you
    It's all I want to hear you say Writer/s: HENRY WILLIAM JOHN BENJAMIN CAMAMILE, MAX ANTHONY MCELLIGOTT, MAX WOLFGANG
