If our words were once sweethearts, now they're ugly violent thugs How did our language come to this, we speak in grunts and sighs and shrugs When we never used to let just one spare moment go to waste Now you're hardly ever here, and when you are you're bored and chaste So when did you decide that I was vile I've tried and tried to talk, but talking's never been your style You say you think we'll still be friends, but we both know that we won't And your mates all laugh and smile as if they know something I don't And every night a taxi softly sneaks you up our street You used to say you'd broke your phone, now you don't care if you're discreet So why won't you just tell me who was there There's a buzz about you now, there's something funny in the air If there's no hope for us then there's no hope for anyone What chance can they have, if even you and me just can't have fun Was it so long ago our friends said we were disgraceful But how could they ever know that we could be so unfaithful You weren't wearing much of note just hold-ups and your long grey coat The electric fire lit up our skin as we whispered cause your mum was in And mind we went to use the phone And let the pervert see how he could only hope to be But that was in the haze of new romance When we floated hand in hand right through its vague, deceitful trance If there's no hope for us then there's no hope for anyone What chance can they have, if even you and me just can't have fun Was it so long ago our friends said we were disgraceful How could they have ever known that we could be so unfaithful That's me then, I'm all packed, you know I need some time to think You just take what you think you'll need, I think we both might need a drink And all the secrets that I keep, you know I keep because I care But now there's no hope left for us, well darling let's just leave it there
