We Were on a Break!

If you ever knew
or had a clue
what my intentions were
when I first went out,
ahead of you,
met another who
returned my affections
without asking her to
We had said
goodbye somehow,
but just didn’t know
it’s just for now
And though we put it
back together again,
her name came up,
I took no blame

’cause we were on a break!
Make no mistake,
your accusations
are unfounded,
now back from our break
Got amnesty
from all that happened
during that space
we were on a break
We were on a break!
I tell you something…
We were on a break!

High fidelity
is what you’re telling’ me
should be policy
if a break up breaks out
instead of me
getting clemency
I’d suffer for my actions
with full penalty
And though we said
goodbye for now,
the rules still apply
to me somehow
And now we’ve put it
back together again,
her relevance,
fades from view

In the wake of our break
I headed for a neutral zone,
out on my own
And, for my actions
in that brief window
you won’t leave me alone
(It’s so unfair)
