You sit beside me

so careful of what you say

you forget you’ve built me

to react to you this way

I take a breath and study the cracks all along the wall

are they as obvious to you

can I hide anything at all

 

there’s a fine line between

what we remember and what we think

coz i remember being happy

but then I think there must be

some reasons why

you and I can’t let this die

 

well I can’t figure out

what it is about you that makes me think

and I can’t go on parading around town

with shackles on my feet

you look at me as if

I’m the last thing on my list

but you haven’t gotten that far down

and I know you shouldn’t stay

but you could have anyway

instead you turned your back around

 

there’s a fine line between

what we remember and what we think

coz i remember being happy

but then I think there must be

some reasons why

you and I can’t let this die

we can end this game

at least give me her name

 

so did you practice that goodbye

close the door behind you

just as you begin to say

“hey babe you know I love you”

and I passed the chance to offer to

say to you the same

well if what they say is true

and the hell I’ve put you through

is the price I have to pay

I’ll take what you have offered

split the tab and say goodnight

I've got better things to do anyway
