The Tannens - Lily Lyrics

We said it won't get difficult, we just weren't meant to be.
You've never seen one Naked Gun, I can recite all three.
And though you said we'd still be friends, it's like you've gone to ground.
You never call me anymore, you never come around.

Now I reminisce, all the things I miss.
Don't you see the grief you're causing?

Lily! Things have gotten so chilly.
Will I ever get the chance to understand you?
Oh, Lily! Are you tryin' to kill me?
Was it something that I did or that I said?
Lily! Keep wonderin' which of my inhibitions you misread.

My friends all try to talk me down, they think it's so absurd.
They tell me you aren't worth the grief, but I don't hear a word.

Loving you was a beautiful illusion,
I was blind, but I felt so free.
Now I'm trapped in perpetual confusion,
What is this thing, this crazy thing you're doing to me?

Lily! Things have gotten so chilly.
When did I become a guy you cross the street for?
Oh, Lily! Are you tryin' to kill me?
Don't you know there's only so much I can take.
Lily! Just lately, it seems like you might hate me.

Do you, Lily? Things have gotten so chilly.
I could never have imagined such indifference.
Oh, Lily! Are you tryin' to kill me?
Was I really nothing special all along?
Oh, Lily!

Oh, Lily! I'm askin' myself, what was it I got so very wrong?
