Snow Patrol On - Off Lyrics

On - Off Lyrics

I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Faces all screwed up like what I'd
done

I didn't mean to hurt you so much

I knew it would hurt you but
not like this

We all make a mess from time to time, dear

But it'll
take me a lifetime to get this cleared

Somebody muttered something under
their breath

But I let on like I was a little deaf

Nobody's
perfect, that's what I say

No one has hurt me so much you say

I'm
sorry

Running away seemed like the easy thing to do because I wanted
time

To put a smile back on your face

For once nothing's missing
and I feel fine

I was afraid to tell you some things

But some
things all find a way to get told

Hearing it from the lips of someone
else

Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet face
