AMANDA SOMERVILLE - Point Of Safe Return lyrics

rate me

You look at me with all the regret in the world

Swimming in your eyes

I gulp it down

But, you know, it all comes back with stinging sourness

Did you believe me when I said that I didn't mean

To raise your hopes and then disappear

Or did you just smile because you believe

You're past the point of safe return, anyway

<i>[Chorus:]</i>

I never meant to make you sorry for loving me

I never meant to make you sorry

You hardly pretend to notice I'm even there

And I don't know if that's really right

You push it aside

But, you know, it only appears to go in deeper

And is it true you believe what I said wasn't real

That it was only a silly game

That just seems easier to believe

When you're past the point of safe return, anyway

<i>[Chorus]</i>

I'm so sorry you were hurt

And I guess I can't say enough

It's no fun when you feel burned

But I guess it was hard for me to believe

You should have tried harder to make me see

Ah, hell, it got so hard for us to see

Past the point of safe return, anyway

<i>[Chorus to end]</i>

You could have had it how you wanted

But instead it tumbled down

Could have made us into something

But instead I made you sorry

Could have let me hear it someday

In the time that I was around

But you wanted me to pretend

Then I didn't want it anymore, anyway
