Lyrics

Verse 1

I am a man 
Cut from the know.
Rearly do friends
Come and then go.
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged

Prechorus 1

Feeling so good that day
Feeling the love that day

Chorus

Twising and turning
Your feelings are burning
Your breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Verse 2

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home

Prechorus 2

I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Chorus
