Lyrics

i hate this tune

You know I hate this tune
'Cause I think of you
For the love of this in this place
I can never replace
You know I hate this tune
'Cause I think of you
I do

And the telescreens blue
With pictures of you
For the love of your face
I can never erase
You know I hate this tune
'Cause I think of you
I do, I do, I do

And it pains me
That you still get me off
And it pains me
That you still get me off

So please, please
You're tearing us apart
No need to stand so far
Away, away, away
So please
No matter where you are
If only we would start
Again, again, again

You know I hate this tune
'Cause I think of you
All the places we went
I don't want to forget
You know I hate this tune
'Cause I think of you
I do

Every sunset too
Makes me think of you
I could get off this pain
I don't want to complain
Every sunset too
Makes me think of you
I do, I do, I do

And it pains me
That you still get me off
And it pains me
That you still get me off

So please, please
You're tearing this apart
No need to stand so far
Away, away, away
So please
No matter where you are
If only we would start
Again, again, again

So please, please
You're tearing this apart
No need to stand so far
Away, away, away
So please
No matter where you are
If only we would start
Again, again, again
