lyrics

Saturday was Judgement Day
So I was neatly shaved
I had been planning this all week, like a last crusade
Trying not to be afraid
Should have considered my fate
Love is always late
Can’t afford myself to wait
It was definitely not a date
It just had been a while, since we had a live debate
About all kinds of music styles, to be precise the ones we hate
We don’t seem to get along
Why is this feeling so strong?
Because I did you no wrong, I didn’t stand a chance
Don’t feel like writing another song, I’m just trying to understand
Where it came to nothing, and the features you demand
Indulging in drink, wasn’t according to plan
But your ex got in my way
He didn’t want me to stay
I was one too many, so I crossed the marketplace
Although dead drunk I fail, the answer isn’t booze
Realized it too late, told you that I fancy you
With a lot on my plate, you must have noticed that too
You appeared out of the blue
Yes Sweetheart Like You, sounds like a business call
Of course you turned me down, and nobody broke my fall
I swallowed all my pride
And by fits and starts, just let it all slide
The compliments I fired, did not convince you
Please bear in mind, that I don’t intend to
Show you in a bad light, I know getting over you
Is sure going to take a while
When I close my eyes
I replay that night, although it was pitch-dark
You were in the spotlight
I linger on in the past
I remember you forget
More than anything else
I still want us to be friends
But you got to give me time; it’s hard to accept
That I misread the signs, and failed my last attempt
