Pause, tear off the bandage
But it still bleeds, it still bleeds
Stop, try to hold it
But it still bleeds, it still bleeds

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love
It still bleeds, it still bleeds
Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love
Just till morning, just till morning

If I could run away now, I would
If I could a make a way out of town, I would, I would
I would, I would
I would, I would

You pause and tear off the bandage
With pale damp cheeks, pale damp cheeks
You stop, try to hold it
But you fell too deep, your knees fell weak

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love
It's too deep, it still bleeds
Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love
Just till morning, just till morning

If I could run away now I would
If I could a make a way out of town, I would, I would
If I could run away now I would
If I could a make a way out of town, I would, I would
I would, I would
I would, I would

And you're on train ride home back to London
And your mind just keeps on wandering
You're searching for the Sun and run

Pause for a second, love, for a second, love
It's too deep, it still bleeds
Hold on for a second, love, for a second, love
Just till morning, just till morning
Pale damp cheeks
