(with Gary Barlow)

|
Well there¡¯s three versions of this story mine, yours and then the truth
|
And we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood, then our youth
|
Out of some sentimental gain I wanted you to feel my pain, but it came back return to sender
|
I read your mind and tried to call, my tears could fill the Albert Hall, is this the sound of sweet surrender?
|
|
What a shame we never listened
|
I told you through the television
|
And all that went away was the price we paid
|
People spend a lifetime this way
|
Oh what a shame.
|
|
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
|
And with your poster 30 foot high at the back of Toys-R-Us
|
I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can¡¯t remember
|
I don¡¯t recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, is this the sound of sweet surrender?
|
|
What a shame we never listened
|
I told you through the television
|
And all that went away was the price we paid
|
People spend a lifetime this way
|
And that¡¯s how they stay
|
Oh what a shame.
|
|
Words come easy, when they¡¯re true
|
Words come easy, when they¡¯re true
|
|
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
|
And with your poster 30 foot high at the back of Toys-R-Us
|
Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth.
|
|
What a shame we never listened
|
I told you through the television
|
And all that went away was the price we paid
|
People spend a lifetime this way
|
And that¡¯s how they stay
|
Oh what a shame.
|
|
People spend a lifetime this way
|
Oh what a shame
|
Such a shame, what a shame
