lyrics

Listening to The Smiths alone in the dark
Reading paperbacks alone in the park
Going out for lunch and eating alone
Laying in the bath ignoring the phone
Wishing I could just be left alone

I can't help feeling cheated
Just when I thought I'd been completed
Every time we kiss I'm more depleted
Depleted, depleted

I do my laundry on Saturdays
Sometimes I take in a matinee
I've a diary I keep under my bed
Where I write the things I should have said
Maybe one day they will get read

I can't help feeling cheated
Just when I thought I'd been completed
Every time we kiss I'm more depleted
Depleted, depleted
