If there was nothing that I could say
Turned your back and you just walked away
Leaves me numb inside I think of you
Together is all I knew

We moved too fast, but I had no sign
I would try to turn the hands of time
I looked to you for a reason why
The love we had passed me by

And as the sun would set you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes you don't longer see

There were no lies between me and you
You said nothing of what you knew
But there was still something in your eyes
Left me helpless and paralysed

You could give a million reasons
Change the world and change the tides
Could not give me the secrets
Of your heart and of your mind
In the darkness that surrounds me
Now there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me
Leave the thought of us behind

You could give a million reasons
Change the world and change the tides
Could not give me the secrets
Of your heart and of your mind
In the darkness that surrounds me
Now there is no peace of mind
Your careless words undo me
Leave the thought of us behind

If there was nothing that I could say
Turned your back and you just walked away
Leaves me numb inside I think of you
Together is all I knew

We moved too fast, but I had no sign
I would try to turn the hands of time
I looked to you for a reason why
The love we had passed me by

And as the sun would set you would rise
Fall from the sky into paradise
Is there no light in your heart for me
You've closed your eyes you don't longer see

There were no lies between me and you
You said nothing of what you knew
But there was still something in your eyes
Left me helpless and paralysed

    General Comment:I remember this song from when it was out around 2000 and it kind of washed over me, then years later I came across it again on You Tube. I'd just come through a very painful and sudden break-up, and this song hit the nail on the head for me - the lyrics made total sense. I love Tracey Ackermann's vocal too; she sounds stunned, numb - she plays the role of the character in the song very well. A bit of a lost classic, I think.

    General Comment:Oh, Oh, OH - this takes me back.... I listened to it during a particularly nasty break up. Especially 'As the sun would set you would rise,' since he was a lazy bum who stayed in bed all day. How lovely to see and hear it now and just feel glad to be out of that situation.

    General Comment:This is absolutely how I'm feeling at the moment. The girl that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with just broke up with me and I feel totally lost. I've always loved this song, but hoped that I'd never be able to relate to it like I can now.

    General Comment:Oh the video for this is awful though. Such a beautiful song, with such an anti-climatic video.

    General Comment:this song reminds me of what an arse i was when i was younger!

    it especially reminds me of one girl i was seeing and everything was going great but i got the chance to go to Australia ( i am in England) so i just finished her so i didn't have any ties incase i wanted to stay out there.

    she was totally shocked and it hit her hard which is how i am feeling the girl in the song is feeling.

    even though it brings all that back, i still love this song!!!

    General Comment:another of my favourite ever songs. i can relate so much. out of nowhere a relationship ends and you dont know how to go on now your alone.

    my girlfriend was my life and she just dumped me out fo the blue...and i kept thinking what did i do wrong

    oh and she slept all day and stayed up all night...which is fitting
