And when you asked me to stay I made some excuse
When deep down I knew that
All hell was breaking loose
So why was I there in the first place?

When some wouldn't have bothered to wait
And how can I ever say sorry
For leading you on?
I came into your life without asking
And then suddenly I was gone

Now why would I think that?
You and me, yeah, now of course I see
And I could ponder this forever but I can't explain
What it was that made me ever get on that train
Well I thought that you and me were never meant to be
Now why would I think that?
You and me, well, now of course I see
(Why would I think that?)
