Badly Drawn Boy - Funny Time of Year Lyrics

After a while, the plans that we made
Can crumble and fall
At least we failed in style
And sooner or later we'll laugh at it all

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna hurt you now
Don't wanna let you down, this time of year
I'm starting to hate the sound, of falling tears

The saddest of all the sounds
Is the sound that a teardrop makes
That a teardrop makes when it hits the ground

After a while, the things that were close
Seem further apart
A simple change of style
Go separate ways or go back to the start

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna hurt you now
Don't wanna let you down, this time of year
I've started to hate the sound, of falling tears

And how could the plans we made
Tumble and fall
I promise before too long
We could laugh at it all

I don't wanna let you down
I'm not ready hurt you now
Not at this funny time of the year
