Lyrics

Loose lips, sunk ships
I'm getting to grips with what you said
No, it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead day after day
Why don't we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
You say we're fatally flawed
Well, I'm easily bored
Is that okay?
Write me off your list, make this the last kiss
I'll walk away
Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here, don't shout it
Given time, we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
Screw you, I didn't like your taste, anyway
I chose you
And that's all gone to waste
It's Saturday, I'll go out and find another you
Why don't we
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away, away
Blow away, away
Just not today
