And then

When I say no

You say I told you so

That I

I will never know

But it’ll always show

Because

I’m naked

Naked as the light

Naked as the night

How nice, but even so

There isn’t this

Just you and me

This isn’t us

 

And then you go

And you do it again

And I

I look the sky

Straight in the eye

The first time I lie

I’m naked

Naked as the light

Naked as the night

Yes, if you must really know

There isn’t this

Just you and me

This isn’t us

 

And then I let go

And you never begin

And I

I will not tell you why

I will always shy

Just short of saying goodbye

I’m naked

Naked as the light

Naked as the night

You know, the thing is

There isn’t this

Just you and me

This isn’t us

 

It’s a shame, yes

But it’s only just

You and me

And fickle memory

Stubborn habit of rust

And the insistent dust

To cover every fantasy

In a parody of trust

It’s for the best

Let’s go for bust

No nudity

No lewdity

No this that isn’t us.
