Lyrics

The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror
As your mom comes downstairs
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
It took me a year to believe it was over
It took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters
And every time I remembered the taste of your lip gloss
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
There were times when I wanted to hurt you
And there were times when I know that I did, whoa-whoa
There were times when I thought I would kill you
But can you blame me, I was only a kid?
Now, tell me why we never really respected each other?
And tell me why I never believed that you were a person, too?
I always thought that you fancied my brother
I may not have liked it
Oh, but memory is a strange thing
Oh, and, Enid
Enid, I remember you
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
It took me a year to believe it was over
Ooh, and it took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa
I took a beating when you wrote me those letters
And every time you told me to get lost
Now, it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was three inches shorter than
And it's not fair to say that it's 'cause I was only fifteen years old
But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication
I took a phone message, oh, and speaking of communication
Oh, and, Enid
Enid, you caught a cold
I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills
I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol
I can work overtime, I can work in a mine
I can do it all for you
But I don't want to
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
(I can teach you how to dance, how to sing, how to knit)
(How to make things that you never ever made before)
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
(Enid, I can teach you how to use cookie cutters)
(To make crazy things out of Play-Doh)
Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
(Little houses, little farms, little accessories for your mom)
(For your Barbie set, for your friends and your family)
But, Enid, we really never knew each other anyway
(Enid, I can teach you how to snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe)
(But I don't want to)
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
