lyrics

If I loved you I would shove you
off a cliff of emotional instability.
To the best of my ability all that I could offer you
is the chance to move to France
in a desperate bid to get rid of the crazy I cling to.
So be happy I don't love you!

You're great as a friend
let's not pretend that I'm anything special.
I cry like a child watching Disney movies late at night
and I scream at the TV because I live vicariously
through the characters on the screen
that I invest too much blood and sweat and sighs
when I should be living my own life.

If you made my heart skip that would be really shit
and I would advise you to run for the hills
before I permanently damaged you.
Except I'd probably be selfish and wouldn't tell you.
I'd probably cling to your side and never part
and even hold your hand while we slept,
like otters, so we wouldn't drift apart.
So be glad that you don't hold my heart.

You're great as a friend
but let's not pretend that I'm anything special.
My ambition is a joke and there's really no punchline,
I've got no direction in my life,
I'm going nowhere slowly and I'd take you down with me

And you're a good and kind and decent guy
and I should be trying to catch your eye
and I should be trying to make you mine
and I should be trying I should be trying I should be trying
to be your valentine. But instead I'm
just … and that's better.
