Lyrics

August

As hopeless
As I am
Got a lot of average stupid plans
Throw away the number
Leave us though I'm a free man

But outside
They don't get you
They don't understand
Laughing at you
Outside
They don't get you
They don't understand
Laughing at you

Teardrops keep falling
Another month and all gets too much

As broken
As I am
You and I won't never be the same

But outside
They don't get you
They don't understand
Laughing at you
Outside
They don't get you
They don't understand
Laughing at you

Teardrops keep falling
Another month and all gets too much
