First fight
we say we’re sorry
we say goodbye
then we say hello
then go as we please
we lie to each other
we say we’re okay
and if we quarrel
we say it’s just one day
we have the saddest lines
the biggest tears
but we never never
fight
the boy will give in
the girl will soften
cos she’s taken by his
grin
we talk of mountains
of hills of the sea
but the boy doesn’t hear her
plea
for while she is crying
he doesn’t know
for he thinks she’s seeing
a never ending rainbow
And when he cries inside
watching her frolick
he cannot bear to break it
it’s all a facade
the boy will give in
the girl will soften
cos she’s taken by his
grin
we take the subway
we chat and we laugh
and everything seems
okay
we walk on the streets
hand in hand
and talk of our favourite
band
we talk of the past
of what has gone
and for awhile
we’re forlorn
the boy will give in
the girl will soften
cos she’s taken by his
grin
Now we take the bus
the boy asks what is wrong
and the girl just stares
at him
The boy could say it
but he would hurt it
and it would not be the
same
For what hurts him
he won’t hurt her
he’d shoulder it
even longer
the boy will give in
the girl will soften
cos she’s taken by his
grin
“if you never told me how you felt
How can I ever stop hurting you?”
said the girl to the boy
when he said what he did.
“I didn’t want to hurt you,
So I wrote it down.”
Said the boy to the girl
when she said what she did.
So they cried over words they had hidden too long
Harshed out expressions they had never meant to say
Dug out the past to bring out the pain
And it stayed.
For the girl will give in
The boy will soften
Cos he’s taken by her
And she, him.
