๐ Lyrics
At the back of my mind
On the tip of my tongue
Begging to be forgotten
Emphatically written
Dramatically read
Quoted completely verbatim
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
Peering over their glasses
It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension
Ears are retracted
And cutlery clatters
To mask the sound of heart break
They can go back
To their coffee and cream
While I take my leave with a handshake
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
Peering over their glasses
It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
On the tip of my tongue
Begging to be forgotten
Emphatically written
Dramatically read
Quoted completely verbatim
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
Peering over their glasses
It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension
Ears are retracted
And cutlery clatters
To mask the sound of heart break
They can go back
To their coffee and cream
While I take my leave with a handshake
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
Peering over their glasses
It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension
It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
On the face of the masses
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
