did i catch you in a moment? you're old boyfriend stands behind thinking of excuses he can use for the second time i was talking with an old friend he was trying to help me to decide if a flower's still a flower after all the petals die maybe it was over or maybe he was trying to find a way back to your heart you didn't really seem to mind
so i'll stay on my own forget all the people i know when the ones that i don't well i'm a reasonable man i keep my heart in my hands when the ship goes down no i won't be around you know i won't be around
what happened to the last guy i heard he wouldn't tow the line when he said i'm sorry well you said i tried the problem with romance is that romance will tend to die when it does will you hold hands when it does will you cry
so i'll stay on my own forget all the people i know when the ones that i don't well i'm a reasonable man i keep my heart in my hands when the ship goes down no i won't be around you know i won't be around
