[Verse 1: Bernard Sumner]
I've been walking in the rain
Just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget
Just to feel worse

[Refrain: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Bernard Sumner]
I hate that mirror
It makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner, but when I'm with you
I couldn't care less

[Pre-Chorus: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life
Getting away

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
[Bridge: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
I thought I gave up falling in lovе
A long, long time ago
I guess I like it, but I can't tеll you
You shouldn't really know
And it's been true
All my life
Yes, it's been true
All my life

[Verse 3: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
I've been talking to myself
Just to suggest that I'm selfish
Getting ahead
I've been trying to impress
That more is less and I'm repressed
I should do what he said

[Chorus: Bernard Sumner, Bernard Sumner & Neil Tennant]
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Getting ahead
Getting ahead
Getting ahead
