If our words were once sweethearts
 Now they're ugly, violent thugs.
 How did our language come to this? 
 We speak in grunts and sighs and shrugs
 And we never used to let just one spare moment
 Go to waste but now you're hardly ever here
 And when you are
 You're bored and chaste
 
 So when did you decide that I was vile
 I've tried and tried to talk,
 But talking's never been your style
 You said we can still be friends
 But we both know that we won't
 
 And your mates all laugh and smile as if they know something I don't
 And every night a taxi softly sneaks you up our street
 You used to say you'd broke your phone
 Now you don't care if you're discreet
 
 So why won't you just tell me who was there?
 There's a buzz about you now
 There's something funny in the air
 
 If there's no hope for us
 Then there's no hope for anyone
 What chance can they have,
 If even you and me can't have fun?
 
 Was it so long ago our friends said we were disgraceful?
 But how could they ever know
 That we could be so unfaithful?
 You weren't wearing much of note
 Just hold-ups and your long grey coat
 
 The three-bar fire lit up our skin
 We whispered, 'cause your mom was in
 And when we went to use the phone,
 And noticed that we weren't alone,
 We shrugged and let the pervert
 
 See how he could only hope to be
 But that was in the haze of new romance
 When we floated hand in hand right through it's vague
 
 Deceitful trance
 If there's no hope for us then
 There's no hope for anyone... 
 
 That's me
 Then
 I'm all packed
 You know I need some time to think
 You just keep what you might need
 I think we both might need a drink
 
 And all the secrets that I keep
 You know I keep because I care
 But now there's no hope left for us so,
 Darling, let's just leave it there.
