As It Is When It Was

New Order

I've kept my head against the wall
I've been this way for so long now
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
When last I saw you
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slowWhatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you seeI don't feel anything no more
This state of grace is consuming me
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
In those days when the sun was warm
I ran in the street where I was bornWhatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
