Lyrics White Town – Anyway

You see it all started out
With the very best of my sincere intentions
So I thought anyway
But that day that we got lost

I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway

So then they questioned all my friends
And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions

So called anyway
Then they read all the books I’d read
And tried to link the authors to my known profession
They failed anyway
But then they put her on the rack
And they broke her perfect back
Into tiny pieces

She never talked anyway
Then they squeezed me till I cracked
And one by one I gave away all her secrets
Forgive me anyway

I thought I was strong enough to be everything

And the words that I hear are the lies that you say
I’m not listening to you any more anyway
