After what was said
I can′t help but sleep with one eye open
The integrity of what we share
Is now unconvincing
The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said
After what was said
The things you really think of me
That′s fine
Cause I think that you're pathetic really
Just like your family
The words break free
Much too easily
My best friend
I can't forget
What was said
There′s a hole in everything
And I have yet to see the proof
Of friendship ′til the end
And not 3/4 the way through
Of love that perseveres
When seen in close-up too
My dear friend
A heart cannot be true
Not completely, so what to do?
I've always left just as the leaves were changing hue
Why give life the chance
To make another mockery
Of our dear romance
Better to come and go
Honor the weeds as they are meant to grow
There′s a hole in everything
And there's nothing you can do
It′s always out with the old
And in with the new
No love without the whisperings
So why pretend it's otherwise
Better to be on the road
Than in a house of cards and lies
I rid myself of friendships
With fungus on the rim
Of love that had gone sour
A merciful killing
Rid of insincerities
And rid of all poison
I sent them all to hell
And nobody was left
The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can′t forget
What was said
