Lyrics
By the time it was done,
You'd decimated my soul
And very quickly moved on
Back to the comfort of classes
Where they give leaner asses
To the diligent ones
Too late to take back the truths
Which now lay carelessly strewn
About the street where we walked
I tried to retrace our steps
Like it could sweep up the mess
I make whenever we talk
Love gathers like a baleful cloud
That's ready to rupture on the faces
That you once made proud
Love gathers like a titan fist
That threatens to strike your closest kin
With every misplaced kiss
You made me go undercover
Felt like I was your lover
But without any love
You got the stuff that you needed
Your attention receded
Then you gave me the shove
You disconnected your feelings
When the legal proceedings
Started taking their course
Whatever he used to do
I'm pretty sure I was happier
Before your divorce
Love gathers like the unborn child
Who closes his fingers round your heart
With every mother's smile
Love gathers when they turn away
To show you that even though they left
This feeling's here to stay
By the end of the week
It seemed my pain was the secret
That you just couldn't keep
The disapproval amassed
Like an insidious gas
I gave up trying to sleep
And so it seems they were right
I'd rather not have this shite
While waiting by the school wall
Just cut my losses and quit
I dread to think what would happen
If you loved me at all
