Tidal Wave 03:13
Can't believe that things have gone so wrong All I want to do is forgive you and say I love you but it is so much harder than you will ever know Cos I can feel you being swept drifting far away How could I compete with her tidal wave? She's so beautiful even if you chose me over her how could I ever be sure you wouldn't be tempted? She's so beautiful even if you do stay how could I ever be sure you wouldn't be tempted again? I hope you find peace in her love I pray she is not as cold as I suspect she is And if you survive her fury when she casts you aside then maybe there's a chance for us then Cos I can feel you being swept drifting far away How could I compete with her tidal wave? She's so beautiful even if you chose me over her how could I ever be sure you wouldn't be tempted? She's so beautiful even if you do stay how could I ever be sure you wouldn't be tempted again? Let her carry you away in her tidal wave Let her carry you away in her tidal wave Let her carry you away in her tidal wave Let her carry you away in her tidal wave Tidal wave

You're a shadow of your former self Standing in the rain at the railway station Was that a tear in your eye? Or was it just the rain running down your face? A lot of years have passed now You're just a kind stranger now I can honestly say you're the lover I gave away You're just a kind stranger now I'm so sorry if I broke your heart I'm so sorry I had to break your heart I'm so sorry if I broke your heart I'm so sorry I had to break your heart I'm so sorry if I broke your heart I'm so sorry I had to break your heart You're a kind stranger You're just a kind stranger You're a kind stranger You're just a kind stranger I was only 18, and too afraid to fight for love And I was in love with someone else You always had such high expections of me But you knew I'd break your heart and I did I'm so sorry if I broke your heart I'm so sorry I had to break your heart I'm so sorry if I broke your heart I'm so sorry I had to break your heart You're a kind stranger You're just a kind stranger You're a kind stranger now You're just a kind stranger Oh kind stranger yeah kind stranger oh kind stranger oh kind stranger Kind stranger

All these years of evolution and still the human race's egocentorism can't be cured They could cure diseases but instead they choose to start wars And I'm not to blame I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity And I'm not to blame I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score Apes in the trees could teach you to raise a family better than you bring your kids up humans didn't have enough love in their hearts for every creature on the earth so they wiped most them out for sport and for food Oh they wiped most them out just for sport and for food I'm not to blame Cos I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity Oh I'm not to blame Cos I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score So you post letters through my letterbox Shout names accross the street because I refuse to be what you want me to be And I won't confirm for you are not a good example of a human being I'm not to blame I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity Oh I'm not to blame I'm not responsible for the downfall of humanity The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score The human race was always flawed Too self obssessed to see the score
