I’ve ruined three hundred pages with ink to chase you
Only to learn I’d rather break my neck twice than erase you.
It’s you, it’s you, and it always will be.
Yet – faith has nothing to do with destiny
So I pray for somebody else tonight, I send my love to another.
You’ll never know, you’ll never be bothered.
I’m growing tired and my words are slouching.
You didn’t offer comfort, you offered coaching –
And I wish I’d known it wasn’t care, it was business,
It was a contract and I was paying by the minute.
Yet I never burned the ink, I could never make it suffer…
Hope you’re having your own vanity for supper.
