What was that you said, I’m sorry
I thought it was me that you were talking to
About a girl it still pains to remember fully
Time hasn’t healed the scars she left behind on me
Naughts and crosses
Pluses and minuses
Two people poles apart
Naughts & crosses
Pluses and minuses
At opposite ends of love
How often had I tried to please her
Only to find I’d gone and closed another door
You wake up feeling sorry that you need her
Sorry for the time you spent and more
Naughts and crosses
Pluses and minuses
Two people poles apart
Naughts & crosses
Pluses and minuses
At opposite ends of love
She was the one who held the key
To change the mood of your day – and bring you down
And when you thought you were free
She’d turn butterflies into bees – to hunt you down
Naughts and crosses
Pluses and minuses
Two people poles apart
Naughts & crosses
Pluses and minuses
At opposite ends of love
When she was young she felt a pain that now she treasures
Life can be like that if you let it
And everyday she works hard to ensure the world still remembers
Sometimes it best to just forget it – live your life not regret it
Naughts and crosses
Pluses and minuses
Two people poles apart
Naughts & crosses
Pluses and minuses
At opposite ends of love
I was her naught, she was my cross
Opposites attract but we were poles apart
