When there is a misunderstanding The world seems a hot furnace There seems to be no former understanding But there was ever that grace We hardly try to adore what we have Until it goes away down the valve Though we'd lived together Something told me we were apart I heard the story altogether With some little part you act But like is with me all the years I believed not without some dares Maybe never were meant to be For you treated me so badly Now you say that you love It sounds foul, filthy and makes me cry greatly As it seemed to me a folly That you should make love a liar's story We could still live on But I know deep down The old days can never again come I don’t know why it is a clown Pretends so much wisdom It would be a utopia, our kingdom When next you find someone Open up your heart, dust it clean Yeah, that's where the dirt is It is not on the floor of the room Your mind is not ordered as it is But you mistake it for the misplaced broom Don't cry over me We were never meant to be That's what you showed all through Now you act like it's not true Alas! I can't trade my poor heart To a game of mines and hearts You forgot we were only pawns But you wanted to be the bishop Only to see you have to spurn A nasty web in our shop Alas! It was you it caught Now you want me to get a cut No! « return. |
