maybe I lost you

think of all the times you failed to turn up for me
think of all the times when you should’ve stood up for me
and then think

think of all the times I lost my temper and broke things
all that mattered to you, lifeless, costly things
but you never failed to remark upon my horrible sins

and maybe I lost you in suburban Perth
maybe I lost you on may the twelfth
or in between some other time
or in between your life and mine

there were times when I would’ve re-written history
times I would’ve hoped for a different ending
times I would remember by the songs we used to sing
when you were free

maybe I lost you in suburban Perth
maybe I lost you on may the twelfth
or in between some other time
or in between, somewhere down the line

maybe I lost you in suburban Perth
maybe I lost you on may the twelfth
or in between some other time
or in between, someone else’s lines
