MIKA THE ELEPHANT - What's Said Is Said Lyrics

Out of the door, the book still in my hand
To the left, down the street as fast as my heart allows
I pray I won't stop, but I can't comprehend
Is this the payback for all my vows

The sun slowly risin', focus on my feet step by step
Gaspin' for air that just won't reach my lungs
A stuttering pulse ringin' in my head
And the strong desire to bite off my own tongue

What's said is said
What's said can't be undone
What's said is said
And sometimes it can't be overcome

Wrapped in coloured paper reused from last Christmas
I carry the well of loneliness in my hand and in my heart
At ten p.m. the street flooded with darkness
Believing nothing could ever tear us apart

My head filled with bits and pieces what i'm going to say
I know what I feel but in my words it's difficult to explain
My birthday gift for you I gonna give myself away
Is now the right time or is it insane

What's said is said
What's said can't be undone
What's said is said
What's said can't be outrun
What's said is said
What's said can't be undone
What's said is said
And sometimes it can't be overcome

On the kitchen table a cake covered in mirror glaze
Surrounded by people re-enactin' well known cliches
I'm the joke, confused bendin' in pain
I grab the book and run away

What's said is said
What's said can't be undone
What's said is said
And sometimes it can't be overcome
