so when we're in the dark
you won't even look me in the eye
i got surprises girl that you won't really like

but under motorways and on scaffolding
shared all our big ideas
but if it's not the way s'not the way

what am i supposed to say

knows when to try

don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite
don't dare look her in the eye


when i found you it was yesterday
a scar tissue dustbin kid

tried to delay the rat catcher
and for a while i did
keeping wolves back from the door

the ghosts back in the past
we could keep each other grounded


always one to try
don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite

don't dare look her in the eye

so this is how it ends

just trampled to the floor
showed you nearly all my heart
and you showed me the door

so hello to these lonely streets but they had no idea
that i'd promise the world to you
but leave you with the fear


always one to try
don't dare look her in the eye

and we know that boys don't cry
we'll be gone by tomorrow nite
always one to try

don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite
gone by tomorrow nite
