Massive Attack and Martina Topley-Bird - Babel

Say it was her Babel
Said it was my Babel
It was my Babel
Tell all people

Now you know it's over, rolling off her shoulder
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you?
Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in?

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing
Breaking, hating 'til you lost it all
Well, you lost your girlfriend, she was not knowing
Where you were going, you were on your own

He was quick to burning
He was slow to learning
Though his eyes were misted
He still kissed her when she cried
You did your best to replace her
You didn't up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way it ended, now sleep tight

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, if you lost it all
Was it all your good?
Reachin' into it?
That lead you to me
I would have craved the love

I wanna be the one that should've said, "You do not dare"
I'm running so far out of my head
This rain of heart that ripples my day
Can never say what was thinking, wait
Mhm
