Strawberry Tart

You can't put a price on friendship
It's just a weight limit over time
A better eye you get for spotting the anchors
A better ear for the words people mime
But with you I knew I had something
Something no one could take
For my unknown existence you were the five pence piece
In an otherwise burnt Christmas cake

And for every boy that broke your heart 
I went through it to
And whenever you would ask me why
I could be anything but true
For I've loved you since before I knew
Counting years on fingers and toes
And with every turn of the two hands I learn
Losing you is as hard as it goes
Losing you it’s as hard as it goes

So when I woke up this morning
Still tasting ten hours ago
Bright lights flash the warnings 
That form like an old picture show
And I'm sorry for what I said last night
When I said nothing at all
Like a pyramid of cards with a door left open 
People only watch to see me fall
