Thewhisperers Lyrics - The The

A lonely silhouette, smoking a cigarette 

Hoping for the phone to ring 

Though she's sick of the sound of people's mouths 

Winding her up and putting her down 

Don't get sad when people that you trusted stab you in the back 

So, you thought they were your friends? 

Now you know, now you know 

There's one thing in life that holds 

And now she wants to cry, staying in on Friday night 

Lying in her birthday suit 

And listening to the bickering from the room above 

And wondering if it's fear of loneliness or love 

That keeps people like that together forever 

Don't get sad when people that you trust stab you in the back 

So, you thought they were your friends? 

Now you know, now you know 

There's one thing in life that holds
