What's The Use? Lyrics - Jimmy Nail

I broke my world in pieces yesterday 

I woke to find my angel gone away/astray 

I was loud and I was strong 

I was proud but I was wrong 

didn't realise the price I'd have to pay 

long ago when sharing things was new 

I did the things I thought a man should do 

so I tried to break her will 

but it was me who paid the bill 

'cause instead of breaking one heart 

I broke two 

what's the use in askin' where she's been to 

what's the use in askin' what she's done 

I'm the one who told her she was leavin' 

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone 

loneliness is tearin' me apart 

I swear to God I'll make a brand new start 

so I'm on the telephone 

sayin' angel, please come home 

before you break your poor old daddy's heart 

what's the use in askin' where she's been to 

what's the use in askin' what she's done 

I'm the one who told her she was leavin' 

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone 

instrumental solo 

anything you need I'll be there/I'm tryin' 

heaven knows I'm cryin;' 

angel 

what's the use in askin' where she's been to 

what's the use in askin' what she's done 

I'm the one who told her she was leavin' 

so what's the use in askin' where she's gone
