[Verse 1]
Never known the difference what is love and tell me what is pain
Love is gonna hurt me in end so isn’t it all the same
I’m a flight risk never gonna land the plane
I can see the roof of your house I know you’re home safe
I, don’t wanna hesitate
I, I’m gonna anyway
[Verse 2]
Take it as an act of kindness if I never let you in
I’m a fucking game that even I don’t know how to win
And I would stay if I believed you needed me to live
Hope you can forgive me for leaving like this
I, yeah you know how it is
I, I never could commit
[Chorus]
And I know it’s not alright okay
When I feel I can’t communicate
Maybe I could get out my own way
Give give, give myself a break
Yeah you know I need someone to blame
Here I am I’m cursing on my name
I don’t like myself when I get this way
I don’t like myself when I get this way
I don’t know how you stay
You do it anyway
[Verse 3]
Never known the difference what’s a chapter what’s a single page
Hard to wrap your arms around a memory when the memory fades
Deeper, we get deeper, we get deeper never knowing if it’s safe to
Just see where it takes you
[Verse 4]
It’s all learned behaviour
My past comes in layers and layers
Changing for you isn’t nature
And if I didn’t hurt you now I’d come back to it later baby
[Chorus]
And I know it’s not alright okay
When I feel I can’t communicate
Maybe I could get out my own way
Give give, give myself a break
Yeah you know I need someone to blame
Here I am I’m cursing on my name
I don’t like myself when I get this way
I don’t like myself when I get this way
I don’t know how you stay
You do it anyway
[Outro]
Never know the difference what is love and tell me what is pain
Love is gonna hurt me in end so isn’t it all the same
I’m a flight risk never gonna land the plane
I can see the roof of your house I know you’re home safe

This is my ‘leave now or forever hold your peace’ song. It’s written with a ‘stream of consciousness’ flow which easily becomes my most vulnerable song to date. And my proudest! I owe so much of that to my brilliant co-writer Eric Leva. Throughout my life I’ve often felt that my deeply emotional nat...
