How can you say that with a straight face when it's eight months down the line?
Please don't treat me like a stranger cos I've put in too much time
If we're forced to be apart, then I'll make up some complaints
For a lifetime in the dark begins to weigh down

Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
I still wanna be involved, I just can't make those mistakes
"Don't be like that" is all you have to say?

That lad pins all of his luck onto that flipped up cigarette
I re-read the words you wrote then I scroll through my regrets
If we're forced to be apart, then I'll make up some complaints
For a lifetime in the dark begins to weigh down

Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
I still wanna be involved, I just can't make those mistakes
"Don't be like that," is all you have to say?
