The Chameleons UK - Things I Wish I'd Said Lyrics

An old face came to me tonight
I don't know why he came
A million memories flickering
Just like home movies in my brain

I turned to stone
He stared at me
What could I do?
I asked him in for tea
"Would you care for some tea?"

Gone were the wild-eyed kids we knew
Two adults faced each other
We talked of trivialities
Ignored the poison in our hearts

We spoke of past and future dreams
While in my head I suppressed frustrated screams
Oh God, not you again
Oh my God, not you again
Oh my God

The time it seemed stood still for us
And then he rose to leave
A million things I wish I'd said
Things that must now remain unsaid

I close the book inside my head
And now he's gone, and a part of me is dead
Oh God, I'm on my own again
Oh my God, I'm on my own again
Oh God

Oh God, I'm on my own again and again and again and again...

Always haunting me, those things I wish I'd said to you

"Goodbye" (*sniff sniff*)
