No Matter By Liam Murray

No matter how much you scorn me,

No matter how much you sneer.

The things I never say to you,

Bad things you never hear.

Once a time I admired you,

Once a time you admired me.

And dreams I had of pure love,

The way it was meant to be.

At night we talked upon the phone,

At night we learnt still more.

About you - the decisive one,

And me - the eternal bore.

I thought we had experienced love,

I thought we had enough.

That you would do right by me,

To dump me was far too tough.

No proxy-dump by friends I sought,

No plans for me and her.

I gave my promise to you that day,

I gave to you my Word.

My Word not to go with another,

My Word that I'd be true.

You'd put me in a hopeless situation,

Your plan that I break up with you.

You could have had the courage,

You could have been nice and kind.

By dumping me yourself,

Not putting best friend in a bind.

No matter what you say to me,

No matter what you feel.

Just you know from now on in,

This dog will never heel.
