You smile to sweeten what you're saying,
But you wound with your words so fine,
We all get the lives that we deserve what?,
You're cruel to my kind,
Do you think that I've got no feelings,
left to hurt inside,
You aim is high and you don't miss much,
but my eyes are open wide

If I'm gonna have to push the boat out,
to meet that tidal wave,
I'm gonna need more than a moment,
to find a face that's brave,
and if I'm looking in the desert,
to find the blazing flowers,
I'm gonna need more than a minute,
more like twenty four hours,

Run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance to recover,
run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance,
run that by me one more time,
before you blow my mind and my cover,
run that by me one more time,
cos I'm strong enough,

So you saw this coming did you,
You give pride while I take the fall,
You never thought to warn me did you,
Just sit back and watch it all,
You straight jacket my dreams,
and chainsaw my intentions,
I hate to shatter your illusions,
but I'm strong enough to carry on,

If I'm gonna have to push the boat out,
to meet that tidal wave,
I'm gonna need more than a moment,
to find a face that's brave,
and if I'm looking in the desert,
to find the blazing flowers,
I'm gonna need more than a minute,
more like twenty four hours,

Run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance to recover,
run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance,
run that by me one more time,
before you blow my mind and my cover,
run that by me one more time,
cos I'm strong enough,

I get crushed while you never mind,
I get crushed while you never mind,
and this is all the will I have,
excuse me whilst I dig it up dig it up,
I get crushed while you never mind,
I get crushed while you never mind,
and this is all the strength I have,
excuse me whilst I dig it up, dig it up,

Run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance to recover,
run that by me one more time,
I gotta have a chance,
run that by me one more time,
before you blow my mind and my cover,
run that by me one more time,
cos I'm strong enough,

Run that by me one more time,
you don't feel love,
run that by me one more time,
you don't feel why

Run that by me one more time,
you don't feel love,
run that by me one more time,
you don't feel why
