I made my excuses and left

I walked into the room 
Imagine my surprise 
you were sitting close to him 
staring in each other's eyes 

Each of you looked up 
but no one said a word 
I felt I should apologise 
for what I hadn't heard 

silence filled the room 
awkward as an elephant 
In the crowded court of your love 
I was now a supplicant 

And clumsy as I felt 
at stumbling on this theft 
to save further embarrassment 
I made my excuses and left 

So long ago 
I felt like such a fool 
for crying 
All that I know 
is when you feel inside 
you're dying 
it all begins again 
defying 
your excuses
