I walked into the room
Imagine my surprise
You were sitting close to him
Staring in each other's eyes

Each of you looked up
But no one said a word
I felt I should apologise
For what I hadn't heard

A silence filled the room
Awkward as an elephant
In the crowded court of your love
I was now a supplicant

And clumsy as I felt
At stumbling on this theft
To save further embarrassment
I made my excuses and left

So long ago
I felt like such a fool
For crying
All that I know
Is when you feel inside
You're dying
It all begins again
Defying
Your excuses
