Hold my hand while you cut me down
It had only just begun but now its over now
And your in the heat of moments
With your heart playing up cold
I'm between the middle watching hastiness unfold
On my eyes you were smiling in the spotlight
Dancing with the night when I fell off your mind

I'm tired of trying your teasing ain't enough
Fed up of buying your time
When I don't get nothing back
And for what? When I don't get nothing back
Oi I'm tired

Where d'you go when you stayed behind?
I looked up and inside down and outside
Only to find a double taking punching heartache
Laughing at my smile
I get closer and you obviously prefer her

I'm tired of trying your teasing ain't enough
Fed up of buying your time
When I don't get nothing back
And for what? When I don't get nothing back
Oi I'm tired

I should have known

Nevermind said your open arms
I couldn't help the leap
that tripped me back into them
Even though

I'm tired of trying your teasing ain't enough
Fed up of buying your time
When I don't get nothing back
And for what? When I don't get nothing back
Oi I'm tired
