ways to phrase a rejection

i wish i'd known you had other plans for me

on those thursday nights at sweet paradise

i waited patiently well

i tried to save it all

i tried

but you were looking for ways to phrase a rejection

you'd been answering back since the days

in the council flat

but now our kitchen table's silent well

i tried to save it all

i tried

but you were looking for ways to phrase a rejection

well now you've gone

oh now you've gone

i was picturing the end

before it fell apart

i tried to save it all

i tried

but you were looking for ways to phrase a rejection
