This song written by Julian Hamilton is a breakup from the perspective of the girl, and was originally going to be handed off to a female singer, but they decided to keep it as it had to be “sung with balls!”
[Verse 1]
Clever liar, fooling us all, never thought I'd work it out
How could I have known it was ever about you, boy?
Now there's nothing to say 'cause there's no words
And we're not talking anyhow
You must have known I was never to doubt you, boy
If it was so fine, it was so good, oh, you're unbelievable
All this time I've been living without you, boy
But not your lying
It felt so good, the world don't know
Now they'll never find out
How all these years she mustered beside you, boy
Don't forget that I
[Chorus]
Was the one that you found and if I know you
You'll find me some place new
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
We're a waste of time and if I know you
Learnt long ago it's true
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
[Verse 2]
Go and explain, explain it again, boy, that this all started
Found you lying in the arms of another girl
So stop your crying
Day after day, year after year, far too long it lasted
You must have thought I was nothing without you, boy
Don't forget that I
[Chorus]
Was the one that you found and if I know you
You'll find me some place new
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
We're a waste of time and if I know you
Learnt long ago it's true
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
And tonight, if we learn that the world's on fire
I guess I'll turn to you
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
[Bridge]
I fail to find, so hard to find
And I can't find a way for you and I to go further on
I'm always learning things the hard, hard, hardest way
[Chorus]
'Cause I was the one that you found and if I know you
You'll find me some place new
I hope you never, I hope you never get to
Tonight, if we learn that the world's on fire
I guess I'll turn to you
I hope I never, I hope I never have to
