Black and blue from the wind and the rain
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I never ever meant to make you cry
If I could take you back, you know, I would,
I wanna burn up and die

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me

You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care
You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me

I'm lost
I'm cold
I'm getting old
My head is filled with lies I told

I've been down
I've been around
But I've fallen on my own two feet
And I've left you out to drown
I never meant for that

I look around, sometimes I stare
I think back now and then, I hope you know I care
I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
Never get over me
Never get over me

But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line [to fade]

    General Comment:i agree with alohalavida, to me it is more than just a break up song.

    it's like he had a relationship with a girl that went really bad and both of them were responsible. maybe they both were so mean to each other that one had to put it to an end. and as he did, she finally somehow realized how much she loved him. he has to take all the blame although he didn't even expect her to be hurt, that's why he thinks he's gonna find a four leak clover (something rare to find, he's ironic !)

    he's fulled with remorse cause of the way they did let things rot and feels sorry to hurt her although he didn't mean to and maybe angry to discover now that it's too late that she can't get over him, although he did force himself into getting over her (you can't tell me that now, this far down the line that you'll never get over me !!!)

    everything is wasted because of some misunderstanding, and there is no way back, that's why he feels like he wants to burn up and die.

    General Comment:i see a bit different interpretations of this song: it's about a guy who broke up with his girlfriend because he thought it's better that way. he knew it's not gonna work ... 'i walked away that day trying to treat you right, but you were on your track - it was me turning back' suggests that she had lots of things ahead and he had to let her go...or any other reason why they couldn't be together any more, i can only guess why.

    if it was only about him being sorry for hurting his ex-g., words 'i want to burn up and die' would be way too strong then... and as he's singing the song it seems like he's the one who can't get over her because he still loves her but doesn't think that he was important for her - it's just a guy and she's probably gonna get over him quite soon.

    and also then the line ' i'll find a four-leaf clover ' makes sense as he's the one who needs luck and some hope. he's trying to be optimistic, and says he's gonna be fine eventually (cause he's not gonna burn up and die really:)

    General Comment:This song 100% sums up what i'm going through presently, I told my girlfriend 2 weeks ago that we had to go our seperate ways and these lyrcis sum the situation up perfectly. I think I will actually include them in a goodbye letter to her.

    General Comment:Why this song was not included on A Decade in the Sun is beyond me; would certainly take this over "Pick A Part That's New" or "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio"...

    General Comment:I love this song so much. I am a HUGE fan of Stereophonics!
    This song, to me, describes how he has just broken up with his girlfriend and he is sorry because she still loves him and feels heartbroken.

    '' you got a hole in your heart, i will find you a four leaf clover'' - I reckon this is that he feels guilty that she 'has a hole in her heart' and he doesnt know what to say to her saying this. So he just says something random.

    Once again great song and perfectly describes what im going through at the moment. I love it. I love it. I love it.

    General Comment:i was thinking '' you got a hole in your heart, i will find you a four leaf clover'' means he wants to do something to cover her hole in her heart.

    General Comment:finding a four leaf clover signifies good luck - its a proverb going back to garden of eden i think - so in the context of the song its the contrast and thus guilt that while one person has a hole in their heart the other seems to have had good luck

    General Comment:Do not listen to it if your bf (who happends to be a huge stereophonics's fan) breaks up with you !

    Such a heartbreaking song, specially the: you can't tell me this now, this far down the line, that you never ever gonna get over me ♪
