lyrics

And you said
'Thanks for the memories, but I've forgotten you,
a long time ago. Lost to the wardrobes and the weather.
And the prints in the snow.
I used to see you as a princess.
All spell bound and kind.
How did you take down our fortress?
Was it the cracks in your mind?'

You know, I didn't even notice
I didn't even blink when you started swearing twice as much
No, I didn't even flinch when you shuddered at my touch.

Oh what we lost
Somewhere inside Glasgow's scattered shores.
You cut and run
No explanation and no consequence.
You just fell out of love.
I used to see you as an avalanche.
Guess I got caught underneath
Just a victim of your circumstance
And I didn't even see when your tide,
It turned on me.
And I didn't even see when you stopped having fun with me.

And the bitter taste of winter never stung me like that.
You were stone cold sober
Quick to sever all that we had.
I begged you reconsider, but you just turned your back

Oh what we lost.
It's the simple things that flash above your eyes
You were not for me
After the goodbye

Oh what we lost
Are the simple reasons hidden from our minds
You were not for me
After the goodbye

You were not for me.
