I was a backing track Saving my green voices back Disguising the obvious That I had no one to sing for I lived in a paper bin Which I had curled up and forgotten in With an unfinished lover's hymn Tattooed on my forehead, oh Where were you? Had I known you then The outcome would have been better I got used to the treadmill love Where no matter how fast you run You're stuck at the starting point Only exhausted I was the anonymous author Of songs I'd not dared to share Lacking the audience Of a lover's care, oh Where were you? Had I known you then The outcome would have been better You could have prevented this You could have prevented this Where were you? Had you known me then The outcome would have been better You could have prevented this You could have prevented this
