The Exploding Boy

The Cure

I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
Knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
And I couldn't look back

Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
Not today

I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
Knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
And I couldn't look back
 
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
