lyrics

When you used to pass me on the wrong side of the road
I used to say it was because you simply didn’t know
The things that was I planning
To make our paths cross
That would bring us together
And make you feel the loss

When you used to run away when I entered the room
I knew your shyness would go away quite soon
Because I had a vision
In which you were the star
And we would come together then
And then we’d go far

For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away

When you used to ask who was leaving you the gift
I kept silent thought I knew my hints weren’t missed
I knew what you needed
And spent all of spare change
But didn’t say it was me
So you wouldn’t think I’m strange

When you realised it had been me all along
I waited for you to ask me to write for you a song
Maybe you don’t like music
Or haven’t got a voice –
But don’t worry I will write you one
You haven’t got a choice

For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away

When I look back and think of you at all
I can’t believe I loved a girl who didn’t care at all
I was young and stupid
And fell for a lie
Wherever you are now
At least I can say I tried

For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away
