The Only boy I'd ever loved was mighty Gilbert Blythe
When doctor said I'm glad you're alright
He couldn't be more wrong
Not even once, not even twice
Not even close to Gilbert Blythe
Lately this year my heart has stopped
It couldn't stand good news
It's so great that you are fine and all that nasty words
How could you stay? How could you go? How dare the Sun still shine?
We've all got lies in our bloodstream
And a history of petty crimes
It's just an escape from "it's all my fault"
Or how's it go?
Every broken heart there's a story
About wanting a little too much
My whole life I've been waiting for love
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
I hate to bring it up that way
So calmly and so cruel
On Friday night when no one's listening to prophet and the fool
My spirit aches, my body shouts: "no one's gonna boss me around"
Gilbert Blythe you're just my type
Like coffee and cigarettes
Like all the things that make me weary enough to forget
Naivety stay the hell away from me
Just another prayer without faith
We've all got lies in our bloodstream
And a history of petty crimes
It's just an escape from "it's all my fault"
Or how's it go?
Every broken heart there's a story
About wanting a little too much
My whole life I've been waiting for love
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
