It's Not You Again With My Very Best Friend (McLeod)

The glow evening entered my heart (affordable pain)
She held my hand but she left it at that (now I'm here in rain)
So that I've come full circle when I speak these words
Trying not to resurrect the hurt
But come and sooth me, sooth me, mellow and calm.

Ice like eyes I melted in them twice too long
Turning tables, echoes of lost innocence
Thief and criminal, lock me up inside your heart.

Forget? I can't forget.
Could have had you.
Grains of sand keep slipping through my hands.

And I've come full circle, I have come to life
And I don't wanna go through the agony twice
I got nothing to show but a string of goodbyes
The tongue-tied lies, blowing kisses to the skies
And it's not you again with my very best friend?
It's not you again disappearing round the bend?
It's not you again blowing darts at my heart?
Kissing all the boys [girls] while I'm drawing the cart.

Oooooooooohhhhhh …… [anguished cry ad infinitum]
