In denial
Don't tell them we broke up
If anyone asks,
If anyone inquires about us.
Tell them i left town on business,
I will return in a few Sundays.
Tell them we spent the night together before the road called me.
Tell them you can still smell my scent on your sheets.
But do not tell them we haven’t seen each other for weeks.
And if a season should pass before we confirm our love before them,
if they ask about us saying they have not seen us together in a while.
Tell them this,
tell them the guitar I’ve been playing earned me a band.
We went on tour somewhere in England.
Though I be far we talk everyday like I’m right beside ya.
And if my love,
if by any chance misfortune befalls us,
If a age should go by without our lips touching,
If they dare ask you about your gentleman.
Tell them that during the tour I got lost and was caught in middle of a war.
I died there.
Though I live seven kilometers away from you,
keeping my head low afraid to face the tears I made rain from your face!
Still, tell them I died there.
For they were not there,
though they wanted us to last forever they didn’t help us get to forever.
If anyone asks,
if anyone inquires about our love,
tell them I died fighting an internal war for your heart.
Don’t tell them we broke up.
