It's been at least a month
32 days, 14 hours, 9 minutes, in fact...
Since you and her...

For, what was it?  eight months?
And eleven days 2 hours 4 minutes, in fact...

And now i want you back

It's been at least a year...
And 35 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes since we...
We were...

well, you never saw it the way I did
How can you call it nothing?  am I nothing to you?
You never saw us the way I did
Does you heart feel nothing?  am I nothing to you?

Well, if we weren't together
for those 3 days, 8 hours 4 minutes then...
What were we?

What do you want to call it?
those brief days, close hours, quiet minutes, was it...

Just some stupid fling?

I'm just asking, cos i don't see
How in just a year, you could forget me
And everything we had
Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Why can't you be a man?
Why can't you hold my hand?
Why can't you understand
that you're hurting me?

well, you never saw it the way I did
How can you call it nothing?  am I nothing to you?
You never saw us the way I did
Does you heart feel nothing?  am I nothing to you?

Could you say it
If i gave you time?
Could you say it?
I'm still keeping time
Keeping time

<spoken>
so, maybe one day you'll ask me out
But how many dates have we been on?
So many that i've lost count
Has the moment been and gone?

<sung>
Why can't you be a man?
Why can't you hold my hand?
Why can't you understand
that you're hurting me?

Could you say it
If i gave you time?
Could you say it?
I'm still keeping time
Keeping time

Author's Comments

:iconyayforspenny: has got to be one of my favourite poets of all time. Recently she wrote a poem entitled 'Be A Man', and i was so inspired by it that i wrote my own song based around the same themes. Jen kindly granted her permission for me to post my own version here.

Jen's original work can be found here [link] if you enjoyed this piece, show your appreciation to Jen and her amazing literary skills.

I've been in quite a... well, actually, its more melancholy than anything else... state recently, and for some reason that means that I'm feeling... Strangely sympathetic to the world. (not that that changes it from being good)
:iconarnorath:
melancholy? sympathetic?

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL SEAN?

I think we both know the answer to that, I ate him, which, as we always say, explains a lot.
