Outback Heartbreak

(sigh) Left your keys on the kitchen bench,

hey

Still feels like you're coming back through the door

Guess not this time

Driving down Sydney Road,

tram tracks humming low

Radio playing tunes we both used to know

Got your jumper folded up in the backseat floor Can't bring myself

to put it in the bottom drawer

Thought you were the love of my life,

mate, genuinely Now I'm making tea for one,

staring at the screen All the weekend road trips cut short at

the end How did we go from soulmates to can't even be

friends?

I swore you were the love of my life Now I am

walking through the rain in the quiet night

We had the whole world mapped in our hands Now it is

slipping like water through sand (yeah,

love of my life)

Bottleshop run just to sit on the porch Watching headlights flicker past

the neighbour's porch Remember that trip down south,

camping in the scrub?

Laughing till our ribs hurt in that rundown pub

You said forever, didn't hedge a single bet Now I'm pacing out

the lounge trying to forget

Every plan we penned down,

vanished into smoke Loving you was real,

losing you is no joke

I don't hate you,

that's the hardest pill

Part of me is holding onto you still (still holding on)

If you were the one,

where does that leave me?

Just drifting out to sea I

swore you were the love of my life Now I am walking

through the rain in the quiet night We had the whole world

mapped in our hands Now it is slipping like water through sand

Yeah, you were the love of my life (never wanted to say

goodbye)

Love of my life...

Yeah,

look after yourself, alright?

(take care)
