And I Know

Alison Moyet

She told me today

I'm in your way

She thinks your heading somewhere

You've a long way to go

Even more than she knows

She thinks you're half the way there



You've learnt nothing much at all

No doubt you told her

that you stayed with me through pity

Honourable you

Oh go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I let you down

I'm not the girl you met

Oh no

And if I smile just a little

Forgive me

but I read that book as well

And I know

You now



Oh now I'm so intrigued

Your life's such a read

It much be torture for you

Unlike one such as me

You know all that I need

Is to pick up after you



You don't understand at all

You move amongst us like

some alien higher being

Skimming no plane but yours

So go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I'm off my head

I keep you from yourself

And I

Can't help but smile just a little

Remembering all you choose to forget

And I know



You know that I still feel the world

revolving miles beneath my feet

You and I were hapless space cadets

Mirrored when we meet

When I was coming down

you let me fall alone



You've learnt nothing much at all

You move amongst us like

some alien higher being

Seeing no pain for yours

Oh go away

Make it easy on yourself

Tell them I let you down

I'm not the girl you met

Oh no

And if I smile just a little

Forgive me

but I read that book as well

And I know

You know
