Caroline

I was waiting for the bus one day
 Watched a fight between an artsy couple escalate
 Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage
 Then he spilled his coffee as he frantically explained
 Maybe if you took a breath
 You would hear me when I talk to you
 Threw her necklace in his face
 Eyes so bright with disappointment
 I saw something inside her break
 Everybody knows the feeling
 
 Suddenly he started screaming
 Caroline, I swear to God I tried
 I swear to God I tried
 Caroline, I swear to God I tried
 I swear to God I tried
 ♪
 I swear to God I tried, I swear to God I tried
 Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran
 Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street
 Watched his world dissolve in his hands
 Tried to roll a blem then put his head between his knees, ooh
 Maybe if she took a breath
 She would know I did it all for her
 Agony and hints of sage
 Her eyes blind with disappointment
 I couldn't recognize her face
 Shards of glass live in this feeling
 Have to somehow stop her leaving
 Caroline, I swear to God I tried
 I swear to God I tried
 Caroline, I swear to God I tried
