Once there was a girl and a boy
They found themselves in bundles of joy
Boyfriends of the past I know
I tried so hard but I was too slow

Pretend to laugh and to agree
Tried to match your complexity
Drink too much and practice fire
I wanted to but I was so tired

What if you would see through me?
I was afraid that you would see

That if there was a fire inside
It burned out fast and we could not find
Searching hands, awkward touch
When something matters to you this much

Maybe you're in love with me
I know that you would lie to me
