Told You... Lyrics by Diefenbaker

Strike the Match

2000

Waking up beside a girl whose name I can’t recall
\nNo serious intentions
\nBut I guess last night I promised more
\nQuietly out of bed
\nQuickly - put on my clothes
\nI leave without saying goodbye
\n
\nAs I try to sneak my way out
\nI feel her hate
\nSmell the tears
\nIt penetrates my ragged soul
\nFills it up with shame
\nDon’t really wanna play these games
\nIt leaves me breaking promises
\nAnd again, loneliness embraces me
\n
\nLove takеs too long to build
\nI feel I haven’t got the time
\nThough I’m in a constant sеarch
\nIt seems like something I’ll never find
\nTo open up once again
\nFeels so distant
\nAnd I can do without the pain
\n
\nOne more night, another broken promise
\nAnother name left in an empty can
\nOne more night, another place, another face
\nOne more leave
\n
\nI know somewhere deep inside
\nThis is gonna get right back at me
\nBut that won’t compensate
\nCan not compensate
\nShall not compensate
\nI’d be lying to myself
\nAnd I’m sick of that
\n
\nWaking up beside a girl whose name fills up my soul
\nThe usual promises
\nBut this time I meant them all
\n“I slide out of bed
\nI think you’re still asleep”
\nShe leaves without saying goodbye\n\n
