Lyrics

Reflections

1st Verse
Late at night the light reflects back from the ground
The rain comes down and rivers flow beside the road
A lonely girl, umbrella held tight in her hand
A lonely tear, falls down her cheek 'cos now she knows

1st Chorus
Gone are the days when you took his breath away
And he used to say the things he used to say
For such a long time it is clear that you've been blind
He was only there in body not in mind

2nd Verse
A long walk home, a walk made longer by those words
Not much was said, but all she heard were his goodbyes
She'd no idea, could see a ring, could see the dress
Now she can see a different order of surprise

1st Chorus
Gone are the days when you took his breath away
And he used to say the things he used to say
For such a long time it is clear that you've been blind
He was only there in body not in mind

2nd Chorus
The pain is hard to bear you can feel it everywhere
Every second, every minute, every day
And you don't understand, one day he holds your hand
But the next you're through, he's thrown your love away

Refrain
The rain comes down and rivers flow beside the road
A lonely tear, falls down her cheek 'cos now she knows

1st Chorus
Gone are the days when you took his breath away
And he used to say the things he used to say
For such a long time it is clear that you've been blind
He was only there in body not in mind

3rd Chorus
Soon time's healed the pain and the smile is back again
Next thing you know he's knocking on your door
But it's only now you see that it wasn't meant to be
There's no going back to how it was before

3rd Verse
A long walk home, a walk made longer by those words
Not much was said, but all he heard were her goodbyes
He feels the fool, heart-broken, dreams are ripped away
Now all he sees are lonely tears which cloud his eyes

2nd Chorus (amended)
The pain is hard to bear and you feel it everywhere
Every second, every minute, every day
And you don't understand, one day she holds your hand
But the next you're through, you've thrown it all away

Thrown it all away (x3)
You've thrown it all away

You stole my heart but changed your mind
I couldn't see 'cos I was blind
I was blind

But on reflection you can see
The mistake you made when you lost me
You lost me

Thrown it all away (x3)
You've thrown it all away
