Lyrics
Chorus
don't leave your number on my phone
cos I don't want you to call me
don't try to hug me in your hallway
cos you didn't need to when I was small
Couldn't you hold me
was I too ugly for you
couldn't you feel my pain
are there any memories that you want to share with me
anything good you remember at all
chorus
was I a burden to you
did you want someone else
did I upset you, did I cause you offence
would you have loved me
could you have loved me
there's nothing left, nothing left
chorus
