they come with their reasons
but i don't believe them
the biggest hand takes it all
a plot to assign blame
no matter what time takes
i'm building my taj mahal
still i can't stand another word of it

when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
when you went away darling

man in the ocean
hangs on to a notion
that one day soon he'll be found
lips parched and thirsty
suffers the irony
that the water is all around
still he can't take a single drop of it

when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
i knew when we started
that you'd be the end of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to carry me

there's something that she said
that this is not the end
must go back to the hand that hurt me

when you went away darling
you took a piece of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to comfort me
i knew when we started
that you'd be the end of me
but there's something in the heartache
that seems to carry me
