about

This is a song about a relationship that has gone badly wrong resulting in a deep sense of regret and devastation.

lyrics

The lights spin round before my eyes
I feel so lost I want to cry
And all I see in your eyes is goodbye
Goodbye

I feel with every part of me
I'm feeling things I could not see
That are now happening to me
Happening to me

In love we get left behind
Love you're no friend of mine
Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse

Inside my head your words they ring
My life like glass it's shattering
We say it's for the best
And we have to be honest

And so I watch you walking away
And all my plans they start to fade
Through the strobes that pierce
And shine right through my tears

In love we get left behind
Love you're no friend of mine
Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse


And so we know the love is gone
I guess it's time we move on

Reality bites
And then it stings
The truth will shut down everything
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse

Reality bites
And shows the truth
And then it punches into you
I know it's crazy, I know it hurts
We're like a love song in reverse
