Song B Lyrics

You are a saint i like to tell you how i'm feeling
You do the same and a part of it's appealing
make or break do you think that you're healing
make a little hole and climb out through the ceiling.

I cannot believe you ran away
I cannot believe you ran away
today it's not your day
so don't get caught up in all of this mess
you never felt you were part of the rest
just restring like you never thought a thing
it was always in your mind.
your mind.

Free to be stolen by the girls in magazines
they looked so pretty nearly lost it in my teens
but i told them twice
no I'm not about to leave
cos you need me here and I'll think you'll agree that

everybody seems to run away
everybody seems to stay the same
today is not your day
so don't get caught up in all of this mess
you never felt you were part of the rest
just restring like you never thought a thing
it was always on your mind
your mind

i cannot believe your cowardice walking away
you're walking away
you're walking away

did you mean what you say?
did you mean what you say?
at the end of the day
you're walking away...

I cannot believe you ran away
I cannot believe you ran away
I cannot believe you ran away
I cannot believe you ran away

I cannot believe your cowardice
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away

I can not believe your cowardice
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away
I can not believe your cowardice
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away
I can not believe your cowardice
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away

You are a saint i like to tell you how i'm feeling 
You do the same and a part of it's appealing 
make or break do you think that you're healing 
make a little hole and climb out through the ceiling.

I cannot believe you ran away 
I cannot believe you ran away 
today it's not your day 
so don't get caught up in all of this mess 
you never felt you were part of the rest 
just restring like you never thought a thing 
it was always in your mind. 
your mind.

Free to be stolen by the girls in magazines 
they looked so pretty nearly lost it in my teens 
but i told them twice 
no I'm not about to leave 
cos you need me here and I'll think you'll agree that

everybody seems to run away 
everybody seems to stay the same 
today is not your day 
so don't get caught up in all of this mess 
you never felt you were part of the rest 
just restring like you never thought a thing 
it was always on your mind 
your mind

i cannot believe your cowardice walking away 
you're walking away 
you're walking away

did you mean what you say? 
did you mean what you say? 
at the end of the day 
you're walking away...

I cannot believe you ran away 
I cannot believe you ran away 
I cannot believe you ran away 
I cannot believe you ran away

I cannot believe your cowardice 
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away

I can not believe your cowardice 
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away 
I can not believe your cowardice 
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away 
I can not believe your cowardice 
I cannot believe your cowardice walking away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

one of my favourite songs by them.

i love his accent. and just 'today it's not your day so don't get caught up in all of this mess you never felt you were part of the rest...

it could be about someone trying to find themself, following the crowd, getting lost along the way, hurting people then just abandoning them. the 'cowardice ' suggests they've made a mess but are just leaving other people to clean it up.

its a brilliant song.

I'd say it's about a break up. She's running away, while he is not the kind that gives up easily. The reference to the girls in magazines? I'd say he means that even though he knows there's plenty of prettier girls, he sticks with his girlfriend. Because he loves her, and he will not give up. He will not walk away. But then all the sudden, she does. He withstood the temptation of walking away, but she didn't. And thus she is a coward in his eyes.
