  • You know we can get away
    Because I'm calling your name
    Every day I feel this pain
    But you just turn and walk away

    No, I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    I just don't know what is wrong
    With you and me

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah

    Touch me and then turn away
    Then put your hands into the flame
    Tell me if you feel this pain
    'Cause I don't wanna be a ball and chain

    No, I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and
    I just don't know what is wrong

    Yeah, give me the respect, forgive me and forget
    You've got to get a grip, living on the edge
    I barely even know this fucking woman in my bed
    And if there's too much on my plate, then I ain't finishing my veg
    And if anybody said the grass is greener on the other side
    Well, it ain't, swear on my mother's life
    You got me wrapped up in your shit, I'm feeling mummified
    I've only ever had this fucking feeling in my stomach twice
    You gave me what I needed and I gave her everything she wanted
    There's something 'bout your cleavage, now I can't put my fingers on it
    You're taking me the deepest, I thought that she was gonna vomit
    If all women from Venus, then I guess I really got a rocket
    You've got a noose around my neck but I'm still hanging on
    We've nearly reached the finish line up in our marathon
    I spat a verse, she sang a song
    She broke my heart, I took some Gaviscon

    I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    With you and me

  • Scott from Brisbane, AustraliaGaviscon might be useless for a broken heart but for treating the symptoms especially stress and anxiety related acid reflux. If you haven't felt it what kind of love did you lose? So far it's the song I feel the closest to a previous breakup.
