So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
A second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They slip you the tongue
Then suddenly treat you like pond scum
(Pond scum)
They want all your love
You can't give enough to the wrong ones
(Wrong ones)
They'll tell you you're great
Then ply you with hatred when they're done
So far away from the sun
(So far away from the sun)
So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
Just a second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They're quick with a smile
And open denial that they loathe you
And living as proof
You'd best never do what they told you
They'll throw a parade
To slander your name just like they're
So far away from the sun
(So far away from the sun)
So far away from the sun
When I think of the past
I remember how fast it was over
Just a second ago, oh
Where are you now
All that I wanted was someone to talk it all over
But where did you go
Oh, I'm alone
They slip you the tongue
Then suddenly treat you like pond scum
(Pond scum)
They want all your love
You can't give enough to the wrong ones
(Wrong ones)
They'll tell you you're great
Then ply you with hatred when they're done
Oh, I've not forgot
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
When the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Oh no
You never think I'm someone that I'm really not
When the wind's cold and the sun is hot
You never say it's something that it's really not
Oh no
