So life just happens, and love just dies. And we could sever, we could abort, we could call it off and struggle on. Everybody does it. And you're sure we'd survive So I force a laugh at dinner, and I fake it in the pub Then I find quiet corner, in a cheap and cheerless club The stripper slinks around the stag, the best man chops a line And I say no to nothing just to prove I'm doing fine You'll never want me back, oh just say You'll never want me back, walk away But don't you dare come back Just be sure before you pull the trigger The problem is that no one changed, we didn't evolve, we just grew in all the wrong directions. We met too late, we tried too soon. We died so they could live But don't peek behind the curtain, never scrutinise a mind Cause you never know the heartbreak and the horror you might find Don't think you'll get an answer, don't expect to understand The fragile correspondence between heart, and head, and hand You'll never want me back, oh just say You'll never want me back, walk away But don't you dare come back Just be sure before you pull the trigger But who made the rules? Who filled us with expectation? Who told us we'd be fine? Who gave us guilt? Who said we deserve a happy ending? So with all the hidden history, and a dare to disavow Do you think you know me better? Now you think you know me now But nothing happens by itself, it's natural to scratch You might think you're clear and cool, but coitus always has a catch You'll never want me back, oh don't say You'll never want me back, walk away But don't you dare come back Just be sure before you pull the trigger
