[Verse 1]
Every time I come here
I'm not sure what to say
I know it should be easy
But it never seems that way
You, you make me feel
Like no one ever will
So why, why do you bore me
Until my heart is still?

[Chorus]
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight

[Verse 2]
I can't say I love you easily
And you wouldn't want me to
So I'd rather just say nothing
And leave it up to you
Then it's easy to forget
You're just as small as me
Then it's easy to forget
You're just as foolish as me

[Chorus]
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight you

[Verse 3]
You, you make me feel
Like no one ever will
So why, why do you bore me
Until my heart is still?

[Chorus]
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight you

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
