Paroles de The End Of A Perfect Day

I want to tell you something
It's not a secret or anything
You're not alone in being alone
At the end of a perfect day
And if you leave all your dependants
Then they will gain their independence
Don't make a martyr of yourself
It's just the end of a perfect day
And it's never how it seems
The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
But in a written testimonial I'd say
I never really knew you anyway

I want to tell you something
Now don't go crazy or anything
Just want to tell you that it's over
It's the end of a perfect day
Do you want sign language?
Don't want a knuckle sandwich!
Now you can love or you can hate
It's just the end of a perfect day
You can't get inside someone
So don't ask me if we're close
I really couldn't tell you
But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway
It's a pain you've got to bear Mind over matter it seems
Can't stop you falling apart at the seams
It's a matter of honour with me
I should write out a hundred times
Put my hand on my heart and say
That I don't want to lie
Don't want to lie
About the way it is

I want to tell you something
Don't act surprised or anything
Now you can revel in yourself
'Cause it's the end of a perfect day
No it's not a pretty world out there
With people dying of their own despair
But in a written testimonial you'd say
You never really knew them anyway
I'll never satisfy you
I'll never even try to
I really couldn't tell
It just depends what you remember
At the end of a perfect day
