It happens so easy, in the wink of an eye

The moment you cut the cable

The rest of the world goes drifting by

Leaving you high and dry



Your love was there waiting to slip me the key

It's just that behind my curtain

Your love wasn't getting through to me

And setting my spirit free



What started me thinking of changing the plan,

What took me so long to find out

That you only want me as I am?



See how the silence sends it on down to you

Now all you need is to believe it's true



This lesson is over, this message got through

I'm turning the corner

You know that I'm coming back to you

To be the one I can be



I know you told me but I had to find it out for myself

Oh sweet baby I cried

And when I saw the way I hurt you

Saw the tears in your eyes

But now it's different cos I'm learning from my past mistakes

And I never make the same one twice

Listen to me when I tell you this is no disguise



See how etc
