Dido - See You When You're 40 lyrics

[Dido - See You When You're 40 lyrics]

I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that
I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better
Days to come i thought that I would give
It just one more chance

Cause I want, tonight
What I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight
What I'd been warned about

You think you are complicated
Deep mystery to all
Well, it's taken me a while to see
You're not so special
All energy, no meaning with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real
Feeling could knock you down

And I've seen, tonight
What I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight
Before I change my mind

So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll
Never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
But sad because you thought it
Was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you
Stand apart from the crowd
Well if you had walked past me today
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

Now I've seen, tonight
How could I waste my time?
And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
Cause I've seen, tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man
And I'm not coming back

And I'm not coming back
What I'd been warned about
