The Exception

(album: Heatwave In The Cold North - 2023)

What's the matter with you?
Ya never wanna discuss anything difficult
But the fella we knew
Might never know that his own ambivalence
Was a lie that he told to himself in the moment, only
To find that he might have been right to begin with and mostly

I denied I
Ever made an exception for you
Oh but I might'a
If I'd a have known you'd have wanted to
Did ya find yourself dreaming maybe ya got
Hung up on a what could have been
And ya might have
Realised that
Enough is enough
Enough is enough

What's the matter with me?
I go ballistic shouldn't have ever said
That I want ya to leave
Why do I say those things I never meant
If a truce is depending on somebody rolling over
Then truthfully not to be obstinate I should have told ya

I denied I
Ever made an exception for you
Oh but I might'a
If I'd a have known you'd have wanted to
Did ya find yourself dreaming maybe ya got
Hung up on a what could have been
And ya might have
Realised that
Enough is enough
Enough is enough

Did ya find yourself dreaming maybe ya got
Hung up on a what could have been
And ya might have
Realised that
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
