Said - acoustic version

Taken from the acoustic mini-album "Late"

lyrics

She blew smoke in my face as she said goodbye,
Though goodbye maybe makes it sound cleaner than it was,
And her eyes maybe made her look meaner than she was.

She took hold of my arm like a cricket bat,
And said never would suit her fine for seeing me next,
Although we both knew exactly what that meant.

Though she said she’d give it up,
She couldn’t lie straight in a bed tied right down,
So I tied myself to her instead,
And the things she said.

I braced myself when she stormed in,
For her words could make me lose the will to live,
And her words were all that she was willing to give.

CHORUS

Those looks won’t last forever,
Nor can all my regrets…

She had tears in her eyes when I said goodbye,
So I offered her my handkerchief and left,
Telling her I would be forever in her debt.

CHORUS

She couldn’t lie straight in a bed tied right down,
So I tied myself to her instead,
And the things she said,
And the things she said,
And the things she said ,
And the things she said.
