lyrics

jen don't wear my diamond ring
and she don't come round when i sing
and she don't think the things i think
and i'm in love with her yeah

they're all joking you're with me
you played along talked family
and now you're sleeping next to me
we're seeing I 2 I yeah

(prechorus)
jumping ahead
said i'm the only one left
i hadn't seen you in 2 years how could you see me like that?

can't believe she don't get it
so far off there's nothing left
save for a little voice that's screaming somewhere deep in my head
it's asking why are you so set on killing you?

(chorus)
cos now she wears his diamond ring
i can't escape her when i sing
and it's been six years to the day
since i spoke with her yeah

and other girls they took your place
but you're the one that got away


i went up north one saturday
and took a call in the hallway
and now i'm bleeding in the street
though it was only two weeks

saw just enough to ruin me
and made my mind up that i'd leave
i walked away so you'd miss me
but that's a losing game

(prechorus)
jumping ahead
said i'm the only one left
i hadn't seen you in 2 years how could you see me like that?

can't believe she don't get it
so far off there's nothing left
save for a little voice that's screaming somewhere deep in my head
demanding why are you so set on killing you?

(chorus)

(solo)

(chorus)
cos now she wears his diamond ring
i can't escape her when i sing
and it's been six years to the day
since i spoke with her yeah

you're sleeping in the space between
you'll stop at two like me someday
and now i'm driving on that street
why did you run after me?

and other girls they took your place
but you're the one that got away
