could you mind be as shallow

as my five o'clock shadow?

can things change this fast?

the one that you wanted is past tense

at present my presence no longer makes sense

at present you're too tense



now i never said "i'm the be-all and end-all"

but you had to end it all, as soon as you'd seen more

i never said i was worth less or worth less or worth more



does it have to be this ugly?

it's not like i stole your possessions or money

things change this fast

the one that i wanted is past tense

at present your presence no longer makes sense

at present i'm too tense



but you'd know it

you'd know it all



now i never said "i'm the be-all and end-all"

but you had to end it all, as soon as you'd seen more

i never said i was worth less or worth more
