[Verse 1]
We couldn’t be lovers, we couldn’t be lovers
‘Cos it will not work
So what happens now? Yeah
We couldn’t be friends, we couldn’t be friends
Though I really tried baby
Then you let me down, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So I could forgive you
And wait ’til you do it again and again
Or cut out this poison
And never ever feel this bad no more
Never ever feel this sad
[Chorus]
And even though I’m losing
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
‘Cos we were dead already
[Verse 2]
We couldn’t be lovers, we couldn’t be friends
So we’re strangers now, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t forget you
But I need some temporary memory loss
To cut out this poison
And never ever feel this bad no more
Never ever feel this sad, no
[Chorus]
And even though I’m losing
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though I’m losing
(And even though I’m losing)
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
(There’s nothing left to say here, oooh)
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
(And even though you’re hurting)
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
(No I’m not gonna stay here)
[Outro]
You got to save yourself
You got to save yourself
You got to save yourself
(‘Cos nothing’s gonna save you, ‘cos nothing’s gonna save you)
You got to save yourself
(‘Cos something’s gotta save you, if you’re not gonna save you)
Oooh
