Lifted from the shadows like a child Lost in a game of hide and seek He came to me one night From another life A love I've yet to meet Nothing much to say But it was fun to play The 'who are you, where have you been?' By the time the sun rose and I had to let you go We'd fallen sweetly in This we know, this we'll always know But sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant to hurt ♪ Lifted from the seabed like a pearl In your palm I shine As with any brightest star We take the time, we travel far And through the dawn we're waiting for the night This we know, this we'll always know But sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant to hurt Lifted from the ground like a kite, Both wind and string we need No doubt there will come a time we'll let the whole damn coil unwind And set those pretty colours free Until then my dear I'll let you disappear, You can send affections from afar And maybe in our deepest dreams where only sweetest secrets keep I'll let you know how loved you really are This we know, this we'll always know But sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant to hurt Oh sometimes it's meant Sometimes it's meant Oh sometimes it's meant to hurt
