The Courteeners - Please Don't (Lyrics)

Four years and twenty-two shades of blonde
Is all that separated us
Why couldn't we have carried on?
We could have got married
You could have carried some, of my sons
You let me change the radio, station in your car
Do you remember that time I raised my voice?
Because you said you'd never ever heard of The La's
You continued to get intimidated
But then your fingertips wrapped round those knuckles of mine
The fear walked home, and your smile returned
And all of a sudden; everything was fine
But those days have passed
And these types of relationship never last

So please don't pretend that we'll stay friends
'Cause you know as well as I do that that, but that just, it never happens
(Well no, no that just never happens)

How come, I always see you out
With those boys that we used to argue about?
You walk over all flustered and stuff
Telling everyone inside that you've had enough
You spend eighty-five percent of your night
Trying to make me understand, why you were standing so close while you're kissing him
Why you left that place holding his hand
Oh darling, can't you see that it's got fuck all to do with me?

So please don't pretend that we'll stay friends
'Cause you know as well as I do that that, but that just, it never happens
