You know we'll never be just friends But now and then we make pretend You kiss me on the cheek And I just sink We'll meet up in a public place Keep our distance, save some face I say "It's been too long" You sip your drink. The past and future press so hard and on either side I'm torn apart And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars You know I've not the heart for this I'm too weak to flirt with bliss And all this clumsy small talk seems so obscene 'Cos everything I ever want It turns to dust before too long And I couldn't stand to see You on the breeze The past and future press so hard and on either side I'm torn apart I told you "we're all good" but I lied; awkward, guarded, cold and tongue-tied And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars Don't make me care, though I wanna care Don't make me smile, no, you wouldn't dare Don't make me love, 'cos I've been in love before Nothing good can come of this... I'm sure The past and future press so hard and on either side I'm torn apart I told you "we're all good" but I lied; awkward, guarded, cold and tongue-tied The world is spinning and I'm left dizzy All I want is for you to miss me And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars
