"Exploding Boy" lyrics
(originally by The Cure)
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned, knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
I couldn't look back
I couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen, not this way
Not today, not today
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned, knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
I couldn't look back
Couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen, not this way
Not today, not today
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned, knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
I couldn't look back
I couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen, not this way
Not today, not today
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned, knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
I couldn't look back
Couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen, not this way
Not today, not today
