about

Out-take from We Had Fun... Didn't We?

lyrics

So, you’d bet your life on blind infatuation?
Well then - so, I guess, would I
But how can you maintain this cold façade?
It must be really hard to keep up this pretence
That you’re just friends
It pains you

So he challenged you to meet his ‘better half’
What did you do?
D’you play it cool while inside every synapse faltered?
Gruesome, thinking of those two
Somehow you made it through as best you could
But even floundering I’d say you handled it OK
As well you should

Take a leaf out of my book
If you don’t confess you’ll end up getting hurt

He’s not using you but please don’t do this to yourself
Find someone else
I’m here to hug you if you fear that love has passed you by
Well it hasn’t quite.
