Ms. Fortune

(album: Burn It Black - 2002)

Found me dead, on the side of the road, barely breathing
But my soul was seething alone
From all my guilt and shame
Found you dead, inside of your room, barely breathing
But your soul was seething alone
It's time to put away your pain

It's time you found out
What I've been on about

Well Ms. Fortune's plain to see
When she's staring back at me
Well Ms. Fortune's plain
When I stare at you...

When I came to, I opened my eyes and I breathed in
All the life I was pushing away
Before I'd go insane
I look through you and I see something there that you don't see
If only you'd choose to believe me
You know you're more than just your pain

It's time you found out
What I've been on about, yeah...
It's time you knew, ooh...
Those eyes see right through you

Well Ms. Fortune's plain to see
When she's staring back at me
Well Ms. Fortune's plain
When I stare at you...

All the things that we've known
We've held too much to keep it inside
And hidden in the spaces we've shown
Why run, when there's nothing to hide?

Well Ms. Fortune's plain to see
When she's staring back at me
Well Ms. Fortune's plain
When I stare at you...

Found me dead, on the side of the road, barely breathing
(Well Ms. Fortune's plain to see) But my soul was seething alone
From all my guilt and shame (When she's staring back at me)
Found you dead, inside of your room, barely breathing
(Well Ms. Fortune's plain) But your soul was seething alone
It's time to put away your pain (When I stare at you...)
(When I stare at you...) Found me dead
(When I stare at you...) Found me dead
(When I stare at you...) Found me dead
