Answer the question you asked me once
And I turned my head away
Answer the question you asked me twice
And still I had nothing to say

You should know  my silence betrays you
For I know the answer to every question that you ask
There's a reply that I am desperate to tell you
But instead my face becomes a mask

I belittle my feelings for you now
Pretend that it wasn't there
I quiet the distress that rings in my head
And act like I do not care

Oh ex-lover, remember that our end was long ago
Our half-hearted attempt disappeard with time
I havent seen you and we havent spoken in an age
And remember that you were never mine

So you, oh you, cannot do this to me
You cannot suddenly appear.
No-one can pull down a house of cards like you
And I beg you understand that I do not need you here

I can't tell you of course and I shan't reply
So please just be on your way
Take my silence as a signal that you failed
And for that you cannot stay

Oh but, why aren't we friends you ask?
For with time your vision has become a blur
We had six months of passionate life-ruining despair


So the answer: because we never were.
