[Verse]
I honestly thought i could face it
Then I smelt your perfume in the lift 
And memories of you flooded back 
Nights with steak and apple pie

[Chorus]
But what choice did I have
I couldn't escape the orbit of a child's love
I stood at the edge and jumped towards your arms
And something pulled me back
But I know a daughter's tears only paper over cracks

[Verse]
I know how much I've hurt you, but I'm hurting too
I mapped out a life with you 
I still have whiplash from my handbrake turn

[Chorus]
But what choice did I have
I couldn't escape the orbit of a child's love
I stood at the edge and jumped towards your arms
And something pulled me back
But I know a daughter's tears only paper over cracks

[Verse]
When I see you I get glimpses of a life that could have been
But I know I'll never have that and you hate me for it
So I return to an empty house
Lying next to someone else, feeling lonely
Thinking of you

[Chorus]
But what choice did I have
I couldn't escape the orbit of a child's love
I stood at the edge and jumped towards your arms
And something pulled me back

[VERSE]
I've missed my chance at happiness 
You were the best thing in my life
Yearning to hug you and stop the pain, 
Still hungry for you
knowing i have no right

[Chorus]
I stood at the edge and jumped towards your arms
And something pulled me back

[VERSE]
I've missed my chance at happiness 
You were the best thing in my life
Yearning to hug you and stop the pain, 
Still hungry for you
knowing i have no right
