lyrics

HOW I DIED IN BRUSSELS
you know she’d left for a new town
where her past mistakes could not be found
she left me here
found another man
but I could not face myself alone again
so as a surprise I took a plane
head to where she had run to be born again
why did she agree to meet a desperate man
I hoped she could maybe understand
her face hard as stone as she walked the room
I knew I was bound to meet my fate soon
this is how I died in Brussels
I was already dead by Montpellier
sometimes it takes a long time
for a man to know his place
this is how I died in Brussels
let my tears fall down the drain
get me another beer man
it's kill myself or kill the pain
she was living a new reality
far away from trouble
far away from me
she had long left me behind
I had to hear her voice
look into her eyes
she told me straight again and again
how happy she was with her brand-new man
she had truly found her place to be
far away from here
far away from me
she kept checking her phone as I bared my soul
I knew there and then that was gonna be the end of it all
this is how I died in Brussels
I was already dead by Montpellier
sometimes it takes a long time
for a man to see his fate
this is how I died in Brussels
let my tears fall down the drain
just get me another beer man
it's kill myself or kill the pain
her new man is way way cooler than me
he's a scientist
he's a poet
the father she needs
something I could never dream to be
and she made a point of telling me
he's a great lover
he's got no catch
but baby my love he will never match
but I know it's too late to make such claims
and I know it's wrong for me to be in this place
her face hard as stone as she walked the room
I knew I was bound to meet the hand of doom
this is how I died in Brussels
I was already dead by Montpellier
sometimes it takes a long time
for a man to know his fate
this is how I died in Brussels
let my tears fall down the drain
just get me another beer man
it's kill myself or kill the pain
this is how I died in Brussels
where she was born again
how I died in Brussels
now I’m dying once again
how I died in Brussels
this is how I died in Brussels
