Well, there were seven years between us
Seems that all my friends were right
That we can´t survive on your bedroom eyes
And a Spanish guitar

When we started this it was paradise
Not just Bethnal Green
And it´s just not right this waiting game
Making a cuckold of me

I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)

And it´s just not like me to lash out
But enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do
That I can´t
Translucent and sun-bleached skin, yeah

When did you get so LA?
How can you desert me after
What we´ve been through?

Stuck on a dream that somewhere it´s better
You´ll be the one missing out

I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies

If you need time, time, time
Time, time, time

I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies

Fighting lies with lies, with lies, with lies
Fire with, fire, fire with, firewood, wood
Lies, lies, lies, lies
