about

This groovy rock number shows off Lex's more aggressive side.

lyrics

I'm likely not in the right but I assumed we were
still on speaking terms
I gotta say when I got your note I was surprised
you could still make me feel hurt
but you're a bigger fool than me if you couldn't foresee
I'd have to write you out eventually
and no one's got a gun to your back making you read my
autobiography

and I'm happy for you
though you don't deserve it I'm glad you weren't the one to get burned
I might have to wait forever
but I know someday I'm gonna get my turn
if this is the way that you wanted to play it
I'm relieved to see you finally grow the spine to say it
so it goes.
and that's it,
just goes to show we never fit.

I've been doing this since long before you came
into play
and I think after all you've done
my debts been paid
so I'm not gonna start now censoring what I say
you've got a lot of nerve asking me to change to suit your
hypersensitivity

and I'm happy for you
though you don't deserve it I'm glad you weren't the one to get burned
I might have to wait forever
but I know someday I'll see you get your just dessert
if this is the way that you wanted to play it
I'm relieved to see you finally grow the spine to say it
so it goes.
and that's it,
just goes to show we never fit.

I know I didn't do everything right
I can say that I truly did try
on you I wasted years of my life
despite knowing you'd never make me your wife
and you did everything you could
to ruin everything about us that was once good
you really fucked up when you finally bowed out
so that I can't even stand
the thought of you now

we never fit
