You
You were a friend
You were a friend of mine
I let you spend the night
You see, it was my fault
Of course, it was mine
I'm too hard at work
Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life?
I'm sorry for wasting your time
Who am I to say that this situation isn't great?
When it's my job to make the most of it
Of course, I didn't know that it would happen to me
Not that easy
Hey, what's that you say?
You're not blaming me for anything
Well, that's great, but I don't break that easy
Does it fade away?
So, that's why I'm, I'm apologizing now
For telling you I thought that we could make it
I just don't get enough
To believe that we've both changed
See, who am I to say this situation isn't great?
It is my time to make the most of it
Of course, I didn't know that it would happen to me
Not that easy, no
No, no, no
If all along the fault is up for grabs
Why can't you have it?
If it's for sale, what is your offer?
I will sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than
Absolutely zero
Well, neither one of us deserves the blame
Because opportunities moved us away
It's not an easy thing to learn to play
A game that's made for two
That's you and me
The rules remain a mystery
See how it's easy?
So who am I to say this situation isn't great?
Well, it's our time to make the most of it
How could we ever know
That this would happen to me?
Not that easy, no
No, no
When all along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it
Well, it's for sale; go make your offer
Well, I'd sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than
Absolutely zero
Love, love
