And I Know

She told me today
I'm in your way
She thinks your heading somewhere
You've a long way to go
Even more than she knows
She thinks you're half the way there

You've learnt nothing much at all
No doubt you told her
that you stayed with me through pity
Honourable you
Oh go away
Make it easy on yourself
Tell them I let you down
I'm not the girl you met
Oh no
And if I smile just a little
Forgive me
but I read that book as well
And I know
You now

Oh now I'm so intrigued
Your life's such a read
It much be torture for you
Unlike one such as me
You know all that I need
Is to pick up after you

You don't understand at all
You move amongst us like
some alien higher being
Skimming no plane but yours
So go away
Make it easy on yourself
Tell them I'm off my head
I keep you from yourself
And I
Can't help but smile just a little
Remembering all you choose to forget
And I know

You know that I still feel the world
revolving miles beneath my feet
You and I were hapless space cadets
Mirrored when we meet
When I was coming down
you let me fall alone

You've learnt nothing much at all
You move amongst us like
some alien higher being
Seeing no pain for yours
Oh go away
Make it easy on yourself
Tell them I let you down
I'm not the girl you met
Oh no
And if I smile just a little
Forgive me
but I read that book as well
And I know
You know
