The Upper Hand

The Upper Hand

You're running away again
What from this time my friend?
You have to go
Then you have to stay
Can't you make up your mind?
Make up your mind!

You think you're calling all the shots
But I have to say you're really not
Now all of your secrets lie in the palm of my hand
The palm of my hand

Well maybe you'd like to explain
The reason why you're hiding
When you're just so not afraid?

There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you
Oh sweetheart, it's not about heartbreak
Just about the upper hand

And all the things I didn't know for sure
That kept me hoping you were who I thought
But now it's done
Like it should've been before it begun

You caught me with a frozen heart
A cold touch
You make a start on taking me
Under your pretence
Anything's better than lonely
Better than lonely

I bet you didn't think I could
But now I guess it's understood
I don't need your stupid lines
Now I'm back in my mind
I'm back in my mind

Oh baby please don't be afraid
'Cos I'm not one to break you
For the sake of playing games

There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you
Oh sweetheart, it's not about heartbreak
Just about the upper hand

And all the things I didn't know for sure
That kept me hoping you were who I thought
But now it's done
Like it should've been before it begun

There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you
There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you

There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you
Oh sweetheart, it's not about heartbreak
Just about the upper hand

And all the things I didn't know for sure
That kept me hoping you were who I thought
But now it's done
Like it should've been before it begun

There's no use in running now
'Cos I can catch you
I can catch you
Oh sweetheart, it's not about heartbreak
Just about the upper hand

And all the things I didn't know for sure
That kept me hoping you were who I thought
But now it's done
Like it should've been before it begun
