Lyrics

Harbouring Hopes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He harbours hopes but I am all at sea

I don't love him but he still loves me

And that is not his fault, and it is not mine

He holds doors open but I have left the room

He tends a garden but this rose will never bloom

And lies are often sweet but seldom kind

Well I could lie,

I could cheat

I could make like smoke when there isn't any real heat

But that would hurt

Both him and me

And since I'm not as cruel as I'm made out to be

I won't do that

I made no promise that I failed to keep

Just because you didn't see me cry don't mean I didn't weep

So hate me if it helps, you have that right

You said some things I was surprised to hear from you

Let the bitter one liners out, I guess I'm owed a few

I'm not keeping score - it'd be no fair fight

Well I could play

The role you've set

I could say there there alright it isn't over yet

But we'd be right back here again

Before too long

And giving false harbour to your hopes would be wrong

I don't do that

Well I could lie,

I could cheat

I could make like smoke when there isn't any real heat

Sure I could

I could pretend

But that's no way to treat a lover much less a friend

He harbours hopes but I cut them free

I don't love him but he says he still loves me

And that is not his fault

And it is not mine

And that is not his fault...
