Words & Music by Ed Robertson Words & music by steven page
A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs The bravest thing i've ever done But I've never been good with plants Was to run away and hide Her next presentation, a new dictionary But not this time, not this time She'd circled the word 'romance' And the weakest thing i've ever done So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic Was to stay right by your side I shaved her name in my head Just like this time, and every time And as she beheld it, she said I misspelled it; I couldn't tell you i was happy when you were gone Need more be said! So i lied and said that i missed you when we were apart.
I couldn't tell you, so i had to lead you on Chorus: But i didn't mean to break your heart. These apples are delicious!
'As a matter of fact they are,' she said And if i always seem distracted Can all this fruit be free? Like my minds somewhere else,
That's because it's true, yes it's true She wrote me a letter as big as a phonebook It's this stupid pride that makes me feel I've never been big on mail Like i have to follow through I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethebridge Even half-assedly, loving you And wondered if it still went by rail Why must i always speak in terms of cowardice? I've never been frightened of being enlightened When i guess i should have just come out and told you right from the start But some things can go too far Why must i always tell you all i want is this? Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar, I guess 'cause i didn't want to break your heart You get what my meanings are
And you said; Chorus "what'd you think that i was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you? I'm not trying to sing a love song -- I'm trying to sing in tune. I'm not that weak, you know I know I am sometimes headstrong What'd you think that i was gonna do, Falling love, catching fire -- I want to be consumed Try to make you love me as much as i love you? Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire! How could you be so low?
You arrogant man, Chorus What do you think that i am? My heart will be fine Just stop wasting my time"
And now i know that you will be okay, and that i Got what i want and that's rid of you Good bye And it's not cause i'll be missing you That makes me fall apart It's just that i didn't mean to break No i didn't mean to break No i didn't mean to break Your heart |
