Accidental


Verse 1
Well I’ve heard it said that you’re only lonely if you,
Feel it all the time,
When you’re by yourself or with another cos it’s,
Only in your mind.

Pre Chorus 1
Hey darling with your broken eyes and your,
And your magnetic arms.

Chorus 1
Bet you’re wondering how I could choose the dark
Like I hadn’t even felt a single spark
Well I wonder if you realise that for all you tried you
Couldn’t break my heart, oh woah woah woah

Verse 2
Oh the perfect timing, you fell over with an
Awkward long goodbye.
Let your precious cards slip for a second with a
Sycophantic smile.

Pre Chorus 2
Hey darling with your broken mind and your,
And your prosthetic heart.

Chorus 2
Bet you’re wanting me to show up at your door
Like those other girls were drooling on your floor
‘Now the worst is past,’ you said, but I bet
That your words and intent,

Bet you’re wondering how I could choose the dark
Like I hadn’t even felt a single spark
Well I
Choose my own light

Bridge
Don’t know what the fuss was, you running naked
In a storm in a pond, you were just splashing around.
Spitting out some nonsense about, how I’ll regret this
Cos we’re nothing without love, we are nothing without love,
Oh but honey, it wasn’t love.


Verse 3
Well here we are and I’m feeling lonely but it’s
Better on my own,
Than to be ignored once the dust had settled,
Stripped back to the bone.

Pre Chorus 2
Hey darling with your crazy eyes and your,
And your desire to rule.

Chorus 3
Bet you’re wondering how I could make this move,
When you set it up so I’d depend on you,
I was nearly in your grasp but you slipped and I accidentally
Saw right through.

Bet you’re wondering how I could choose the dark
Like I hadn’t even felt a single spark
Well I
Choose my own light
I choose mine
