The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance
Sinead O'Connor · She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide U
I'll meet later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Days and days our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
This is the last day of acquaintance
I'll meet you later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
This is the last day of acquaintance
I'll meet you later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
