I trained it back to New York
It smells like city in your cologne
I watched broadway, didn't you, dear?
It's pained to listen to who you're
Falling in love with so much to lose for
I caught the hard way, you didn't, dear

Every time I think of your face
Every time I hear about your name
Every reason why you could be fine
Makes me descend, makes me
Every time I think of her and what you said
Every time I remember old promises
Every reason why that you broke them
Takes me back to that council house in Scotland

I really believed you were the one
My sister thought we'd get married, I thought we'd tell everyone
You managed to deceive me with every move
Cunning, how you lie, you were smart but so soon

I wish you were everything you've never been
I wish you were nothing like what you always did
I wish you happiness and the most hurtful of pain
I wish I had everything
I wish you gave me everything
I wish you were everything you've never been
