I was riddled with guilt It was a riddle to me How our island had sunk In the splintering sea Yet the unchartered waters They did not feel new That summer I left you And we left the EU The earthquake Ripped right through our youth Heartbroken borders Borderline truth I followed the fault lines With superglue That summer I left you And we left the EU The bullet I shot Was swallowed up whole By the media storm The historic the own-goal And nobody thought I'd see it through That summer I left you And we left the EU We stood and stared As all we'd built burnt down Wildfire rumours Spreading through town But the blame came down To point of view That summer I left you And we left the EU My sense of direction Was a lost cause They found my moral compass Washed up on distant shores How the sun poured down On the residue That summer I left you And we left the EU
