I was a backing track

Saving my green voices back

Disguising the obvious

That I had no-one to sing for

I lived in a paper bin

Which I lived curled up and forgotten in

With an unfinished lovers hymn

Tattooed on my forehead

Oh Oh Oh where were you

Had I known you then

The outcome would have been better

I got used to the treadmill love

Where no matter how fast you run

You're stuck at the starting point

Only exhausted

I was the anonymous author

Of songs I'd not dared to share

Lacking the audience of a lover's ear

Oh Oh Oh Where were you

Had I know you then

The outcome would have been better

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

You could have prevented this

Oh Oh Oh where were you

Had you known me then

The outcome would have been better
