[Verse 1]
I'm alright, all is fine
A year gone by
The sun still shines, I'm over it now
All is good now, my dear, isn't it?
There have been a few lies
To my therapist, to my friends
They want me to be so nicely repaired
And belonging to the world again
[Pre-Chorus]
But one thought of you, my love
And the pain comes rushing back
[Chorus]
Hold it now, stop the world's spin, shut off the sun
Cut the music, don't let it in, pull the curtains tight
Weddings, christenings, I can't play along
No planes, no trains, no birds, no song
Turn off the internet, everything is wrong
Can't you see I'm a fucking wreck?
[Post-Chorus]
I'm a fucking wreck
(I'm a fucking wreck)
[Verse 2]
You try to ease how I feel
With wine and sympathy
But your words, they are empty to me
Because you can just carry on so easily
Maybe it's true that time will heal
But that's what scares me the most right now
This safe pain I know so well
It keeps you alive within me, somehow
[Chorus]
Hold it now, stop the world's spin, shut off the sun
Cut the music, don't let it in, pull the curtains tight
Weddings, christenings, I can't play along
No planes, no trains, no birds, no song
Turn off the internet, everything is wrong
Can't you see I'm a fucking wreck?
[Post-Chorus]
I'm a fucking wreck
(I'm a fucking wreck)
[Bridge]
Yes, I'm older now
But if I can't love, then no one should love
Yes, time keeps burning
But I still don't understand how it all keeps turning
[Chorus]
Hold it now, stop the world's spin, shut off the sun
Cut the music, don't let it in, pull the curtains tight
Weddings, christenings, I can't play along
No planes, no trains, no birds, no song
Turn off the internet, everything is wrong
Can't you see I'm a fucking wreck?
[Post-Chorus]
I'm a fucking wreck
(I'm a fucking wreck)
