Passiona The Smith Street Band

[Verse 1]
The people in the apartments across the street
Literally and metaphorically look down on me
Tangled in tenderness, why do I have to live like this?
I was tempted by your company and you've already noticed me
And I'm sorry for what I say when I don't know what I'm saying
And you don't have to play this cat-and-mouse game I am playing
I'm just a pretty sad person in a quite surreal place
And I don't look up from my phone
Because I know I won't see your face
And it's pathetic, it's also not a competition

[Chorus]
And I'm absolutely, infinitely
More scared of you than you are of me
And I've always been the one that cares too much

[Verse 2]
And I hope you're happy, I hope you've slept
I'll try not write another record about the pain in my chest
I'm just so glad I could be someone that you wanted
And I don't recognise these stars, I'm unfamiliar with this skyline
I was born and bred in bars
Now nothing man-made is in my eye line
Turn and walk back to the house that they saved after the war
And I am questioned once again
Get asked what I would do that for
And our host tells me I'm sick, tentatively hands me a spliff
And I know he's forgotten my name, but I don't remember his
