lyrics

I can see that things are going well
for now,
but it’s just a matter of time before it goes to hell
and you call me down

I am really happy for you
and I wish nothing but the best for you

But something is bound to go wrong
and when it does, you’ll sing that same old song
The one that goes:

“No one knows me like you do.
When I was with him, I was thinking of you”

Until then we’ll remain perfect strangers;
stay out of danger.

I hope you’ve found a reason to live
by now
if not, it’s a matter of time before you’ve no more to give
and you fall down

I am really pulling for you
and I wish nothing but the best for you

But something is bound to go wrong
and when it does, you’ll sing that same old song
The one that goes:

“No one knows me like you do
There is no one else I can turn to”

‘til then we’ll remain perfect strangers,
stay out of danger

You cried when you heard those flowers were yours,
I hope my sincerity doesn’t close any doors
Please don’t twist my words, there is no resentment
and I have no interest in a relationship

Ahem.

As for you, it’s such a shame,
though I suppose I am to blame
I really wish it could’ve worked out
I could tell that you work out
When I’m craving some sorbet,
I’ll be sure to head your way,
though I’ll feel uncomfortable

Light as a feather, stiff as a board
I am stiff and bored
