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
