The perfect cadence that I wish I could complete You take me by surprise and sweep me off my feet I've spent a lifetime thinking you and I should meet You're in my eyeline every time I dream Here's the thing You make my heart sing Cecilia, I've lost your love I've given up I've had enough Saint Cecilia, I tried my best, but in the end, nothing ever was enough I've given up And nowadays, I am nailed to your stave I used to sleep for days And now I'm wide awake But what is there for you to do When the thing that you live for is dying beside you? That's the thing You break my heartstrings Cecilia, I've lost your love I've given up I've had enough Saint Cecilia, I tried my best, but in the end, nothing ever was enough I've given up Here's the thing I tried my best, but in the end, nothing ever was enough I've given up Saint Cecilia, I tried my best, but in the end, nothing ever was enough I've given up
