Heard It All

At first we were friends

Then we were enemies

Now it ends with facts and familiar faces again
I can't see an end to this anonymity

Toward which people say we tend
Incline my head to avoid your gaze

Hear you damn me with feigned praise

But in your subtlest of circles you may find that it pays
It's changed
It's different now

The seasons come and go and nobody told me

How it gets different now

Just sit and frown while the words disown me
How then can hell be compared to limbo?

Hour after hour by the phone in the window

My hands could write a recompense

Up in arms to come to your defense
For all the things that might incur

There's two or three things that I know about her

And when you think she's lonely

You phone just to make sure
It's changed
It's different now

The seasons come and go and nobody told me

How it gets different, how

Just sitting round while the words disown me
Sorry it had to be you again old friend

Fallen onto harder times again

I'll see it through to the bitter end

This is bitterer than I can stand...
Heard it all now

I've heard it all now
