LYRICS

Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Angel

Your heart hurts here

Your heart hurts here

Your heart hurts here

When you want to leave

When you get your feeling

I've said nothing you will want to see

It's all this bleeding

 

Oh don't you excite her

And don't you explain

There is no meaning here

Just a potential for gain

You've got infinite patience

And the scent of the sea

Love these days when I'm near you

Watering hole, watering hole

 

Why did you lie

Did you lie to me

Why did you say those things

You didn't mean

My heart hurts here

My heart hurts here

What a wonderful feeling

I'd had nothing but rain

We just made a decision

It's pain

It's pain

It's pain

 

I've got nothing to hold you

Got no chest to contain

You're a cave full of treasures

Watering hole, watering hole

Watering hole, watering hole
