Tears on my sleeve
I cry on Malaga Beach
I've never seen anybody do that before
The wasted years I count on toes on my feet
In the footprints that same shape my mother wore

London Town was haunted inside out
So we flew here for a change of scene
I thought aloud
Would you notice if I drowned
You said don't you appreciate the beautiful heat
No, this ain't the place to grieve

Now I know the bitter truth
I'm really losing you
I love you so bad I'd wait
I meant it when I said it's always
But lately your fingers leave a trace
Razors and knives, they take their place
Your affection fades
Affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me
And I can't walk away

Now I know how the blood will taste
Your affection fades
Affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me

My darkest fear
Buried here
Under sands of Malaga pier
Good intentions, interventions shipwrecked
I still don't know
How to mourn us, where to go
Maybe here I'll bring the flowers when we're dead
(Oh baby, not yet)

Now I know the bitter truth
I'm really losing you
I loved you so bad I'd wait
I meant it when I said it's always
But lately your fingers leave a trace
Razors and knives, they take their place
Your affection fades
Affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me
But I can't walk away

Now I know how the blood will taste
Your affection fades
Affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me

Baby, I'm swimming out
Call me back, where are you now?
I don't know where your new address is
Did you get my message?
