| I want to tell you something
|
| It’s not a secret or anything
|
| You’re not alone in being alone
|
| At the end of a perfect day
|
| And if you leave all your dependents
|
| Then they will gain their independence
|
| Don’t make a martyr of yourself
|
| It’s just the end of a perfect day
|
| And it’s never how it seems
|
| The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
|
| But in a written testimonial I’d say
|
| I never really knew you anyway
|
| I want to tell you something
|
| Now don’t go crazy or anything
|
| Just want to tell you that it’s over
|
| It’s the end of a perfect day
|
| Do you want sign language?
|
| Don’t want a knuckle sandwich!
|
| Now you can love or you can hate it’s just
|
| The end of a perfect day
|
| You can’t get inside someone
|
| So don’t ask me if we’re close
|
| I really couldn’t tell you
|
| But I know you wouldn’t really listen anyway
|
| It’s a pain you have to bear
|
| And it’s always going to be there
|
| But if you disappeared tomorrow
|
| Then the world would carry on without you anyway
|
| Mind over matter it seems
|
| Can stop you falling apart at the seams
|
| It’s a matter of honour with me
|
| I could write out a hundred times
|
| Put my hand on my heart and say
|
| That I don’t want to lie
|
| Don’t want to lie
|
| Don’t want to lie
|
| About the way it is
|
| I want to tell you something
|
| Don’t act surprised now or anything
|
| Now you can revel in yourself 'cause
|
| It’s just the end of a perfect day
|
| No it’s not a pretty world out there
|
| With people dying of their own despair
|
| But in a written testimonial you’d say
|
| You never really knew them anyway
|
| I’ll never satisfy you
|
| I’ll never even try to
|
| I really couldn’t tell, it just depends what you remember
|
| At the end of a perfect day |
