Plan B

Doomed from the start you know I think
Our ending's always been set in stone
I'm standing in crowded rooms that feeling's there
Like I'm perpetually alone
The dial tone rings out I'll tell myself
Once again you've lost your phone
Because that's easier to swallow
Than believing what I really know

This was never going to end well
When I thought we were inevitable
Meanwhile you only ever thought of me
As an easy plan B

I already know exactly what to say and what to do
When my phone lights up with your name at a quarter past two
But common sense is hard to come by
When you've made me play the fool
Seven words and eighteen minutes now I'm looking at you

This was never going to end well
When I thought we were inevitable
Meanwhile you only ever thought of me
As an easy plan B

Maybe I'll kid myself a little longer thinking you're the one
When in reality all this is is so called harmless fun
But aching limbs and fragile self respect is all I have to show
For all these months of sneaking round
In dark rooms and I think you should know
That all I'd ever ask of you, is to kiss me in the pouring rain
But now I realise this will just drive me insane

This was never going to end well
When I thought we were inevitable
I'm not sure you ever could have thought of me
As more than plan B
