It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears

Are you laughing at me now
May I please laugh along

I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
And astray heart on my sleeve wounded knees
And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm

Drop me and I'll fall to pieces
Too easily
Too easily
Too easily
