Song lyrics

I was waiting for the bus one day,
Watched a fight between an artsy couple
escalate.
Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage,
Think he spilled his coffee as he frantically explained:

"Maybe if you took a breath,
you would hear me when I talk to you!"
Threw her necklace in his face,
Eyes so bright with disappointment, I
Saw something inside her break,
Everybody knows the feeling,
Suddenly he started screaming,

"Caroline,
I swear to god I tried!
I swear to god I tried!
Caroline,
I swear to god I tried!
I swear to god I tried!"

Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran,
Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street.
Watched his world dissolve in his hands,
Tried to roll a blem then put his head between his knees.

Maybe if she took a breath,
She would know I did it all for her.
Agony and hints of sage,
Her eyes blind with disappointment, I
couldn't recognise her face,
Shards of glass live in this feeling,
Have to somehow stop her leaving.

"Caroline,
I swear to god I tried!
I swear to god I tried!
Caroline,
I swear to god I tried!
I swear to god I tried!"
