“I hate putting a title to anything without a theme, but with "Unfinished Sympathy”, we’d started with a jam… and added an orchestral score later. The title came up as a joke at first, but it fitted the song and the arrangements so perfectly, we just had to use it.“ - Robert Del Naja


[Verse 1:]
I know that I've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

[Verse 2:]
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

[Bridge:]
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
