enid we never really knew each other anyway
enid we never really knew each other anyway
it took me a yearto believe it was over
and it took me two more
to get over the loss.
i took a beating when you wrote me those letters
and every time i remembered the taste of your lipgloss.
chorus
maybe we always saw right through each other anyway
but enid we really never knew each other anyway
there were times when i wanted to hurt you ,
and there were times when i know that i did.
there were times when i thought i would kill you,
but can you blame me i was only a kid.
tell me why we never respected each other
and tell me why i never believed you were a person too
i always thought that you fancied my brother.
i may not have liked it, oh but memory is a stranage thing, oh
and enid?
enid i remember you.

to get lost.
now it's not fair to say that it's 'cause i was three inches shorter
then,
and it's not fair to say it's
'cause i was only fifteen years old.
but maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication;
i took a phone message, oh and speaking of communication, oh,
and enid,
enid you caught a cold.
i can get a job i can pay the phone bills
i can cut the lawn cut my hair cut down my cholesterol
i can work overtime i can work in a mine
i can do it all for you,
but i don't want to.
