Answer The Question Ex-Lover

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.
