about

TOGETHER TOO LONG (2010)
From my Elvis Costello ‘My Aim Is True’ phase. A nasty little pop-punk gem about the post-breakup feeling that comes after you’ve spent up all your anger: “I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place, and I hope I never ever have to see you again.”

lyrics

I saw you standing in a crowded room
it’s a long time later but it’s still too soon
and it’s not like everything you did was wrong
baby I loved you
but we stayed together too long

baby it was not bad, isn’t like I’d take it back
you and I had quite a lot of fun in fact
and its not like anything went really wrong
baby I loved you
but we stayed together too long

now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
you say you wanna be my friend
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
and I hope I never ever have to see you again

I took my books back, records from the bedroom shelf
it was a small flat, now you got it to yourself
I know that probably I did you wrong
baby I’m sorry
but we stayed together too long

now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
you say you wanna be my friend
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
and I hope I never ever have to see you again

it isn’t my fault we were never meant to be
it isn’t your fault I can tell you honestly
we knew it when we started there was something wrong
we should’ve known better
but we stayed together too long

now that it’s all over and you’re saving face
you say you wanna be my friend
but I don’t know what I saw in you in the first place
and I hope I never ever have to see you again
