Long Hot Summer Extended Version lyrics

I play out my role

Why I`ve even been out walking

They tell me that it helps

But I know when I`m beaten

All those lonely films

And all those lonely parties

But now the feeling is off-screen

An` the tears for real not acted, anymore



I`m all mixed up inside

I want to run but I can`t hide

And however much we try

We can`t escape the truth and the fact is



Don`t matter what I do

It don`t matter what I do

Don`t matter what I do

Don`t matter what I do

Don`t matter what I do

`Cause I end up hurting you



One more covered sigh

And one more glance you know means goodbye

Can`t you see that`s why

We`re dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime



(In my mind different voices call)

What once was pleasure now`s pain for us all

(In my heart only shadows fall)

I once stood proud now I feel so small

(I don`t know whether to laugh or cry)

The long hot summer just passed me by
