lyrics

I was sitting outside, drinking a gin,
Taking in air.
She was expressing her thoughts on
The injustice of death.

I was wondering if I could go home
Via your arms.
And how we might be more honest
Than we'd ever been.

And we were.
Ain't life the funniest thing?
And we were.
That's where this story begins.

'Cause up until then I'd been well,
I'd been finding a way of denying your existence.
Up until then I'd be well,
I'd been forging a path of honesty and forgiveness.

You burnt it down and I gave you the matches
and I would do it again.
You tore it up and I handed you the bin.
Tell me I was wrong!
You can't cause you know that it's true:
I might be in love with you.

I've a precarious mind that you'd like to read
But you've lost your page.
And arrogant joking aside,
I put your ignorance down to your age.

And truth be told,
I lose my mind if I know that you're near.
And hand on heart,
This is more than I've felt for a year.

Are you happy now?
Haven't we been through enough?
Are you happy now?
You've ruined the both of us.

'Cause up until then I'd been well,
I'd been finding a way of denying your existence.
Up until then I'd be well,
I'd been forging a path of honesty and forgiveness.

You burnt it down and I gave you the matches
and I would do it again.
You tore it up and I handed you the bin.
Tell me I was wrong!
You can't cause you know that it's true:
I might be in love with you.
