And when you asked me to stay I made some excuse 

When deep down I knew that 

All hell was breaking loose 

So why was I there in the first place? 

I'm not sure 

I think I wanted to spend the night with you 

And though you wanted more 





I thought that you and me were never meant to be

Now why would I think that? 





And when I called home to tell her that I'd be late 

You stood outside the ‘phone box 

When some wouldn't have bothered to wait 

And how can I ever say sorry 

For leading you on? 

I came into your life without asking 

And then suddenly I was gone 





Because I thought that you and me were never meant to be 

Now why would I think that? 

You and me, yeah, now of course I see 





And I could ponder this forever but I can't explain 

What it was that made me ever get on that train 





Well I thought that you and me were never meant to be 

Now why would I think that? 

You and me, well, now of course I see 

(Why would I think that?)
