Special by New Order Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It isn't what it used to be
I wake up every night on the stairs
Waiting for the dawn to come
Every drop of wine, you can be my time
Only tomorrow knows
Why do we beg when we can borrow?
This time we knew
No more or less, there's nothing left

[Chorus]
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same

[Verse 2]
It wasn't that I didn't try
It's not the kind of thing that you buy
Written in my destiny
Life is but a dream, covered by the sky
Stop saying that you're calling time
Look at your life before you start on mine
I'm not the kind of person that you need
I'm sick of trying, I mean that it's over
[Chorus]
It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It was always special
It was like water down the drain

[Verse 3]
Patiently you wait for me
You were so blind
I thought it couldn't be
Then changed my mind
Drowning in the endless sea
Line follows line
The traces of your memory
Don't belong with mine
