[Verse 1: David Gedge]
At first I liked the space
But I did not anticipate
Exactly how much I would hate
Not seeing your perfect face
Every morning as I wake
So yes, that was my first mistake

[Chorus 1: David Gedge]
I'm the man who changed his mind
I'm the man who's been so blind

[Verse 2: David Gedge]
He said "You're not from round here"
And though he said it with a smile
He made me feel like an exile
It's becoming pretty clear
That the longer that I roam
The more I think I should go home

[Chorus 2: David Gedge]
I should have done this long ago
I'm the man with the broken bow

[Bridge: David Gedge]
The pain of failure is so much greater than the pleasure of success
Yeah, the pain of failure is so much greater than the pleasure of success [Outro: David Gedge]
 
I'm the man who changed his mind [Katharine Wallinger]
The pain of failure
Is so much greater than the I'm the man who's been so blind
I should have done this long ago Pleasure of success
Is so much greater than the pleasure I'm the man with the broken bow
