Teenage Love

There's a low hanging sun, I

Think we're running a red, I

Hate the thought I could have died with you

Thinking I'd put this to bed, my

Mum says it's bad for my health, I

Haven't forgiven you yet, but

God, I'm bitter in the blood, so I

Will be when I'm dead

You took time that wasn't yours to, engineer an enemy from someone who adored you

You had time enough to halt this, despite the years between us, you were mine enough to call it

Call it what it was

It was teenage love

Call it what it was

It was teenage love

If only for one of us

Lisa asked down the phone if your

Heart was really as bad as the

Doctor was telling you then, or if

You even lied about that, I

Tried to say you were honest, and

Let some light through the cracks, I'll

Never know what was real and you'll

Never need to look back

It's fitting, I guess

I didn't know it existed

The thing in your chest, I always thought you were messing

It's gonna take us both down

You took time that wasn't yours to, engineer an enemy from someone who adored you

You had time enough to halt this, despite the years between us, you were mine enough to call it

Call it what it was

It was teenage love

Call it what it was

It was teenage love

I used to kiss your head and call you soft

Now, you kiss my friends in the Gellions loft

You said, I dish out shame like it gets me off

And they'll forget my name when the lights go on

I used to want to live slow by the riverbed

Now, I drink to get calm and to unforget

I try to miss you man, but it messes my head

Trying to marry your face with the things you said

I hate that I'll get old before you know your crime

And that all I’ve got is to make them rhyme

I hate your stupid bar and your hairline

Hate that you had me before I was even mine

I hate you close to home and far away

In that empty new place where you tax evade

I hate the taxi rank and the drugs you take

I hate that everyone knows and they'll never say
