WORK AND PLAY


We went out to have tea
After not having seen each other in a long time
I really had nothing to say
But I talked anyway
Nothing was interesting that day
Your excuse was you were tired of working
You were exhausted

I didn't sugar my tea
Let alone my speech
And you lectured me
On how hard it is to balance work and play
But how many days had it been
Since I'd seen you?
You said you were sorry
You'd put me on the back burner
I said it's good you're aware that you did
And all I wanted to do was ask you
Why was I so easy to let go?

I guess it was my job to speak up
And tell you how i felt
But you hadn't made the effort
So why should i be fair?
Why should i be fair?
