This Song Isn't Subtle Lyrics

We agreed we'd meet up at midnight in the park

But before that could happen it was already finished

And darling, I'm nowhere near afraid of the dark

But I'm just too terrified of being alone in it

Coz' you can't just write "I miss you, I love you," in a song

And expect all the shit that's gone so wrong to go right again

And you can't just cry to music to memories of their heart

And expect all the shit to turn into art, but can't we pretend

"I love you," that's what they say now

Just to a different person than preferred

And I can't find new shit to write songs about

Now that her heart holds a sign saying do not disturb

You've got a new job busking on Memory Lane

But it's three in the morning and your schedule is ruined

It doesn't feel right, all these heartaches and pains

There's a line for her attention and you're still queuing

Coz' you can't just write "I miss you, I love you," in a song

And expect all the shit that's gone so wrong to go right again

And you can't just cry to music to memories of their heart

And expect all the shit to turn into art, but can't we pretend

And I never said I love you, and I never said I miss you

At the time I thought it was just too trivial

I never thought to say it, I didn't know how to play it

I spent too long and the time just slipped away

Coz' you can't just write "I miss you, I love you," in a song

And expect all the shit that's gone so wrong to go right again

And you can't just cry to music to memories of their heart

And expect all the shit to turn into art, but can't we pretend
