It's dull and sustained
But you never asked
It was all in the note
Delivered by hand
I saw your scarf into the letterbox
Monologue times two equals conversation
People explain but it does no good
I broke my own heart by waiting too long
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn't see it then it didn't happen
The land plateaus
And industry grows
Filtered light contracts
In the glittering towers
The clogs you get the less you've impressed
In a room full of strangers I withdraw
Contact in vain but it does no good
I would've explained but you've long gone
The crush and the shatter
As our lives scatter
If I didn't see it then it didn't happen
