This isn’t the song
Which I wanted to sing
That old old story
Of you wearing my ring
No I wanted to sing of avoidance
The avoidance of me by you
I wanted to sing of abandonment
The abandonment, and you seeing it through
I wanted to hurt you
And you to hurt me too
I wanted to hold on
To your eyes of blue
I wanted to tell you
And you to tell me too
I wanted us to sing on
With both singing true
I wanted to sing of abandonment
The abandonment of me by you
I wanted to sing of avoidance
The avoidance, and you seeing it through
This isn’t the story
Which I wanted to be sold
The sad old glory
Of being left out in the cold
