The Long Division

Lyrics

Did somebody try to catch your eye
 And almost change your sad expression?
 Did somebody's hand linger too long?
 Must I now make my confession?
 But you'll never know what suspicion is
 Until you lie awake
 And every night you ask yourself
 "What am I to do?"
 Can it be so hard to calculate?
 When three goes into two
 There's nothing left over
 How's it gonna feel? This time it's real
 It's not a temporary fracture
 This is what you get, the stage is set
 For you and your attempted rapture
 Is he gonna smile
 That indulgent smile
 When you come running home?
 And every night you ask yourself
 "What am I to do?"
 Can it be so hard to calculate?
 When three goes into two
 There's nothing left over
 What am I gonna say? You turn away
 And you leave me here despairing
 What am I going to do? I look at you
 You seem to be so long past caring
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Only to find out now that it's a joke
 So ask yourself
 "What am I to do?"
 Can it be so hard to calculate?
 When three goes into two
 There's nothing left over
 ♪
 ♪
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
 Did somebody say
 "Can we still be friends?"
