I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station 
When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question
Oh is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption?
Or are we all merely biding our time down to the lonely conclusions
Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this
How loneliness edged in to deep seated psychosis
Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss
And my failings laid clear on the ceiling I don’t think I can do this
I don’t think I can do this

I tried so hard to not turn into my father
But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better
Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener
So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter

You deserve better

And in my ears
GThe sound comes clear and brings the awful truth
That I can’t stand what I’ve done to you
 Em(024000)
And  it’s written clear in my diary
Today should've been our anniversary
GAnd I’m far away and I’m far apart
And you’re back home with a broken heart
 Em(024000)
And love is real and I can’t escape
I only ever hBsus2ave myself to blame
These Dsus2failures shifAsus2t and shapEme me in tDsus2he nightG  Bsus2

Wake mDsus2e darling I neAsus2ed you tEmo take Dsus2me homeG  
But Bsus2I know
In the Dsus2end redemAsus2ption is Emmine aDsus2nd mine alone
G* A* F#m* x2
G* A* F#m*
So if each of us is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes
Then that hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive
Oh each can be redeemed by the courage in which he confesses
So darling I miss you
Your music and your musk and your kisses
 		G*
I don’t think I can do this

How loneliness edged in to deep seated psychosis

Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss

And my failings laid clear on the ceiling I don’t think I can do this
