about

B Side from the 'Diving Bell' Sessions.

lyrics

If you had told me before you had gone
That you had a sense that all of this was going wrong

If you had leant over between our favourite songs
And said ‘Honey, I don’t think they’re gonna be
Your favourites too long’

I could have been looking for someone
Instead of wasting my precious time on this song

If you had given me any kind of hint
That you were here for more like a finite stint
If you’d not let me get in so deep
Then the ramp out of this wouldn’t of seemed so steep

I could have been looking for someone
Instead of wasting my precious time on this song

I tell you what
Lets not, lets not

If I’d been honest, and said I was weak
And risked you seeing me as some kind of freak
If I hadn’t pretended to not give a shit
Maybe you would have stuck around for more than a little bit

I could have been looking for someone
Instead of wasting my precious time on this song
