lyrics

I hear your new boyfriend is king of the handsome and you don’t want to open old cuts.

And that’s fine, I’m not suggesting you do anything rash, I just liked it when you and I referred to ourselves as us.

I don’t know what I was thinking when I signed up to play football; I think I forgot that football is a contact sport. 
But it made you laugh when I told you I was playing, so I guess I will bruise my body again.

But I didn’t have a lot to choose from, and I said that I didn’t have a lot to choose from.

I know where you heard the news from, so I said sit still while I put my boots on.
 And you were bound to lose some, I tried to say that I thought you were bound to lose some. 
But they made you black and blue son, and if you’d stayed bare you could probably lose them.

This weekend was nice, it was really good to see you for more than a fleeting half an hour.

We were sitting in your lounge room, I was trying to point out all your boyfriend’s flaws.

You admitted there were parts of him that you’d rather ignore. 
I said “I’ll take it, but it’s not the answer I was looking for”.

So plan your tattoos in the bedroom, make things like they were before.

When I didn’t have a lot to choose from, and I said that I didn’t have a lot to choose from.

I know where you heard the news from, so I said sit still while I put my boots on. 
And you were bound to lose some, I tried to say that I thought you were bound to lose some. 
But they made you black and blue son, and if you’d stayed bare you could probably lose them.
