"Maggie" lyrics

Maggie

Maggie
How I wish we'd never met
Never kissed or tried to fall in love
For Maggie
Fashion's not the same as love
It's just a game
We're soon tired of

We were too young to marry anyhow
Hot blood was all there was between us
Now there's the kids, a house
And more than bills to pay
It breaks my heart, we're not in love
Maggie, Maggie
How I wish we'd never met

Maggie
Many tears ago
Love we thought would grow
Was dead and gone
Maggie
It's hard to pretend
When things that need to end
Keep dragging on

It's not quite fair to raise our kids like this
They're not too young to know we're faking
But nothing's ever said out loud and time takes on
Clean to the bone our souls are aching
Maggie, Maggie
How I wish we'd never met

Maggie, Maggie
