There laid a Jenga tower romance knocked over by a child Reasons upon reasons of why she ever changed her mind Maybe the tabbing on the school run or even that time we tried Sat there with silver spoons and old cartoons on turned our skin to rind And served as a distraction to all the help that we could find Some reconciliation we both endeavoured to decline I called out for my consort till one day there was was no reply Now she’s got her t shirt on backwards cos she's rushed home from a friend's They got up to something you can tell how this one ends It’s not fair But in the hours she was gone I was out finding someone To do all the same things at the same time So it’s not fair, but it’s alright She’d ask all the hard questions like, 'Could a nihilist see the light, end up an old postino in the early morning shine?’ I stood, stared and probably dared to share something unwise On the palms of my hands right there’s a little extra time For better or for worse I think that it would be unkind To keep going with the deal we took when we felt so obliged I never seemed to realise just how much time she’d spend Checking for my silhouette then off to play pretend It wasn’t fair But in the hours she was gone I was out there with someone Doing all the same things at the same time And it’s not fair, but it’s alright We used to be old romantics We never talk about it We used to be old romantics We never talk about it We used to be old romantics We never talk about it We used to be old romantics We never talk about it
