Use every chance you've been given

she replied after several days

It's no good to be perfect

You know so well things are easy to tell

There is one thing I know

it goes like this

It's that when I'm down and out it's you I miss



I have told you this before

and my transparent mind

won't cover see-through hearts

I'll be straight with you now

Now I'm not what you want

just like the rest

and you feel like you're subject to a test

But if there's one thing I know it's this

When I lose my sleep it's you I miss



You sleep all night

you know you lie awake

Tell me, yeah

And time is running out

and you know so well

it may never be



Use every chance you've been given

she is told, but it doesn't make her smile

She has no need to be perfect

She knows too well

things are easy to tell

I have said what I thought you should know

but you never seem to recognize my face
