Eventually, Darling - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

The backyard balcony view

Was empty as hell without you

And the man that you trust

Worth dust 'cause he left without a word

Have you heard an apology? No

No comment, what were you on?

Don't tell me you truly believed when he promised

Marvellous beaches, one of us each to carry the spade

Don't be so nasty, Father McCarthy rolls in his grave

I don't mean to be shallow, I'm just movin' on

But it was nice to meet you

For love is but a fleeting friend

We'll end up both alone, oh, we know

How easy it is to pretend

Sick of trying to be her and trying to be him

Exactly what is getting worse each time and time again

Is that not something you could learn if only on a whim

Pretendin' not to choke like the first time you tried a blem

It's not really the time

For kickin' and squealing

Well, it's a silly thought

It's a silly feeling, ah

Oh, marvellous beaches, one of us each will carry the spade

Everyone leaves eventually, darling, don't be afraid

No, really, don't worry, won't you scurry now?

While your life's in pieces and love is but a fleeting friend

Don't pretend that you care either

As one of many broken hearts to mend

I see you and love just doesn't care for you

We'll end up both alone, oh, we know

Your father feels the same way too (Too)

Sick of trying to be her and trying to be him

Exactly what is getting worse each time and time again

Is that not something you could learn if only on a whim

Pretendin' not to choke like the first time you tried a blem

It's a silly thought

It's like changing your friends

If you could do it once

Would you do it again?
