I signed your contract without much time to think
But if you take the time to look again you’ll see
I signed your contract with vanishing ink
Now your grip is fading, you no longer have a hold on me

So don’t put all your eggs into one frying pan
Don’t count your goose until it’s cooked
I may have promised you everything I am
But now I realise, this deal is not what I was looking for

Now everything is falling into place
I’m falling in love instead of falling flat on my face
I’ve found the missing piece; I’ve found the finishing touch
Surely to ask you to let me leave isn’t asking you too much

Your contract offered me everything
You even threw in the kitchen sink
Now here comes the sting in the tail
I’m not as attached to you as you would like me to think
