Other Old Cliches |
| I might as well give you all there is |
| I might as well take it all the way: |
| What’s gone is forgotten, and anyway |
| Surely words alone could not wreck your day? |
| The cake’s not worth the candle, so they say… |
| «Nothing ventured, nothing gained, no hard feelings…» |
| Other old clichés |
| I’ve held back my feelings for so long |
| While clutching at straws in the caravan — |
| I’ll say what I must and take it like a man |
| I’ve fixed my grin, I’ve raised a laugh |
| And after the back’s been broken by the waiting game… |
| «Mustn't grumble, can’t complain, no hard feelings,» |
| Other old clichés |
| Suddenly I see the scales falling from your eyes — |
| This revelation surely comes as no surprise? |
| Well, what d’you want? |
| What d’you expect? |
| What do you say? |
| Can it really be so predictable? |
| Now all of the secrets are given away |
| What words of forgiveness are there left to say? |
| Hold me now, don’t let go |
| Hold me, soon there comes a price I cannot pay |
| I take the words back straight away: |
| «I'm so sorry, I didn’t mean it,» |
| Beg forgiveness, beg and pray… |
| Blind self-pity |
| Other old clichés |
