I can't believe nobody had even submitted the lyrics of this, let alone commented. I love this song so much, definately my favourite on "Waiting For The Sirens Call". To me, it just carrys all the feeling of trying to get over a relationship with a person that you still hold feelings for. Where everywhere you look there's reminders of the person, and he's pleaing for the person to leave them be so they can get over the break-up. It's a really amazing song, the music works so well, and I love how Bernard sings the chorus.

It's written in a way that makes you think that the character is singing to his (former) loved one pretending she's present, but she's not. A painful way to say to yourself what you should have said before.

I agree with Alieno. It's almost like a dialogue. He says, 'Things are tough, can't get you out of my head' She says, 'You've just got to get over it'. He says, 'It's hard to be alone, you're gonna need me.' She says, 'You hanging on is really freaking me out.' He says, 'I'll do better this time.' She says, 'Do you really want me to be blunt with you? Just get over it.'

Or something like that. Could almost have been a duet.

hmm, lines like "What we had has gone away" or "What do you want me to do / Take is all away from you" make me think that it is written in the view of the one who is breaking up not the one who is broken up with. His struggle in the rest of the lyrics is because he really can't help the fact that what they had has gone away and that he feels really really sorry for it.
