Lyrics

Verse 1: By the time it was done You'd decimated my soul And very quickly moved on Back to the comfort of classes Where they give leaner asses To the diligent ones Too late to take back the truths Which now lay carelessly strewn About the street where we walked I tried to retrace our steps Like it could sweep up the mess I make whenever we talk Chorus: Love gathers like a baleful cloud That's ready to rupture on the faces That you once made proud Love gathers like a titan fist That threatens to strike your closest kin With every misplaced kiss Verse 2: You made me go undercover Felt like I was your lover But without any love You got the stuff that you needed Your attention receded Then you gave me the shove You disconnected your feelings When the legal proceedings Started taking their course Whatever he used to do I'm pretty sure I was happier Before your divorce Chorus: Love gathers like the unborn child Who closes his fingers round your heart With every mother's smile Love gathers when they turn away To show you that even though they left This feeling's here to stay (interlude) Verse 3: By the end of the week It seemed my pain was the secret That you just couldn't keep The disapproval amassed Like an insidious gas I gave up trying to sleep And so it seems they were right I'd rather not have this shite While waiting by the school wall Just cut my losses and quit I dread to think what would happen If you loved me at all (Outro interlude)
