How She Threw It All Away
Style Council · Classic [2009]
But all the things she needed in life she had no need to keep
Of all the things she asked of me none were ever fun
And I'm no good at acting while the cameras on the run
Don't you know she threw it all away
I wonder how she feels today
She threw it all away
I wonder if she's there to stay
I tried, a bit, to change into something that I'm not
But trying to mold with dynamite is like giving lions spots
Guess you knew she threw it all away
Don't shed a tear there's no need to cry
She threw it all away
Oh I played both parts in the fool and I
Yes, I know your hurting inside
But I can't stop those tears in your eyes, falling from your face
Every time you fall apart I knew at the start
When it happened again it was the start of the end for us
Guess you knew she threw it all away
I wonder how she feels today
She threw it all away
I wonder if she's there to stay
Yes, I know your hurting inside
But I can't stop those tears in your eyes, falling from your face
Every time you fall apart I knew at the start
When it happened again it was the start of the end for us
With all the things that money can buy
You'll never be alone
But thankfully you remembered the words
To 'I can't buy me love'
Guess you knew she threw it all away
Don't shed a tear there's no need to cry
She threw it all away
Oh I played both parts in the fool and I
She threw it all away
I wonder how she feels today
She threw it all away
I wonder if she's there to stay
Threw it all away
She threw it all away
