Coldplay – Pour Me

"Pour Me" as written by Guy Rupert Berryman, William Champion, Christopher Anthony John Martin and Jonathan Mark Buckland....
Pour me, floatin' out to see
An opportunity that went by
Pour you, now what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do? You just cry

Pour me, so blind I couldn't see
The flowers for the trees, I don't know why
Pour you, you split yourself in two
Now what you gonna do? You just cry

I hear you come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand
I hear you come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

Pour me, floatin' out to see
An opportunity that went by
Pour you, now what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? You just cry

I hear you come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand
I hear you come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

I don't understand
I don't understand

For feel ?
Strong at alley, I'm gonna feel it now
I'm gonna feel it now, sing, say, say

    Lyric CorrectionAccording to Coldplay's official website, here are the actual lyrics.

    Poor me, floating out to sea
    An opportunity that went bad
    Poor you, now what you gonna do?
    Now what you gonna do?
    You just cry

    Poor me, so blind I couldn't see
    The forest for the trees
    I don't know why
    Poor you, you split yourself in two
    Now what you gonna do?
    You just cry

    I hear you come nearer
    I hear you but I don't understand
    I hear you come nearer
    I hear you but I don't understand

    Poor me, floating out to sea
    An opportunity that went bad
    Poor you, now what you gonna do?
    Oh what you gonna do?
    You just cry

    I hear you come nearer
    I hear you but I don't understand
    I hear you come nearer
    I hear you but I don't understand

    I don't understand
    I don't understand

    General Commentpour me, so blind i couldn't see
    the flowers or the trees, i don't know why.

    i think it makes more sense if it's like:
    the forrest for the trees, does it?
