Dido - See You When You're 40

I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen
That I'd end up at yours
Temporarily forgot
There's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cos I want, tonight
What I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight
What I'd been warned about

You think you are complicated
Deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see
You're not so special
All energy, no meaning
With a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling
Could knock you down

And I've seen, tonight
What I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight
Before I change my mind
So see you when you're
40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by
Strangers you'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost
Me, but sad because you thought it was
Cool to be sad

You think misery
Will make you stand apart from the crowd
Well if you had walked past me
Today, I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

Now I've seen, tonight
How could I waste my time
And I'll be on my way,
And I won't be back

Back, cos I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a
Man, and I'm not coming back
