For Those... Tindersticks

Two hours, twenty minutes to earn five pounds
And now it's laying somewhere out there in the ground
And I've lost it
I was cheated
It was something belonged only to me
And now it's gone through my own stupidity
And I've lost it
I was cheated

Two whole years to earn your love
Now it's hanging around in the clouds
Well, I've lost it
I was cheated
I'm cheated by my vanity
Whispering rumours bullying me
Well, I spent it
It wasn't worth it

And for those who are not so beautiful
Hearts are not given as gifts but earned
When it's originally tossed away
It can easily be reclaimed by her
By her

All those years spent building myself
Trying to stop my stammering
And start taking two steps instead of one
But that's all gone now
