lyrics

Please spare me all your alibis
I knew just where you were
Yeah, I saw it all with my own eyes
There’s so much that I’ve learned

Well we’re not the only ones to feel the shame
Of a stain we can’t remove
I only know if we survive this darling
There’ll be nothing left to prove

And if you and I should ever meet
In a world without hatred or conceit
Maybe there we can find all the comfort we seek
May not come in a day, may not come in a week

Don’t go and beat yourself up now
You know that that won’t do
You’re only human and I realise
Yeah, darling, I’ve got my flaws too

But let’s not pretend it’s all OK
Let’s not brush it all aside
Seems we’ve all got a debt to pay
All got a secret to confide

And if you and I should ever meet
In a world without hatred or conceit
Maybe there we can find all the comfort we seek
May not come in a day, may not come in a week

You sip at your coffee while we talk
You’ve always liked it strong
You can feel that caffeine kicking in
But it’s a high that won’t last long

I remember back when we were kids
How you held me so enthralled
And how your name would set off sparks in me
Every time I heard it called

And if you and I should ever meet
In a world without hatred or conceit
Maybe there we can find all the comfort we seek
May not come in a day, may not come in a week
