about

This song was about a friend of a friend who, like the girl in "It's Only Going To Get Worse" I was essentially using to keep me from going back to my ex. Or breaking up the relationship of my old flame.

lyrics

I thought you should know
I'm a cup full of woe
I'm a scar, I'm a wound
A broken guitar, out of tune
I'm poison, I'm a trap
I'm not the carefree chap
I let people think I am
It's a ruse, it's a sham

But tonight let's share a bed
I need a bosom to rest my head
I'm tired, I am sick
I'm a lantern burnt out of wick
And to look you'd never tell
Like an egg under its shell
I've secretly gone rotten
Probably best forgotten
Definitely best forgotten

But tonight let's share a bed
I need a bosom to rest my head
And to avoid future muddles
Let's just be friends who cuddle
Or why label us at all?
Then I won't have to make the call
When it's no longer fun
And tell you that we're done

Because I'm just too weak to do
The right thing and tell you that we're through
I am just too weak to do
The right thing and tell you that we're through
