Lyrics:
I was waiting for the bus one day
Watched a fight between an artsy couple
escalate
Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage
Think 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
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
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 recognise 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
I swear to god I tried
