It was a chilly day in march
When he let me down
Just when I thought I knew
The difference of boy and man

He said his world never sleeps
From his cyclonic mind
Gone was a girl lured into his path
In the dress of a different size

With your pride alone you sailed away
And never heard me say

My heart is safe from where I'm standing
Far away from you
And if I get too close
Then I'll be
Drowning in blue

His eyes to me had red
A note of apology
He said
"I can't do this commitmentship
My soul is running on empty"

With your pride alone you sailed away
And never heard me say

My heart is safe from where I'm standing
Standing
Far away from you (Far away from you)
And if I get too close then I'll be
Drowning in blue

My heart is safe from where I'm standing
Standing
Far away from you (Far away from you)
And if I get too close then I'll be
Drowning in blue
