We Were Pirates - Little Consolation [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I told you not to worry
Everything was alright
But it didn’t seem to calm your nerves
Or leave you satisfied
Somehow you always seem to read me like a book
That goes on and on and on and on

Still up until the end
I guess I thought I had you fooled
I’d try to smile just right
But it wasn’t natural
I couldn’t make the muscles in my face look right
It looked wrong

I couldn’t tell you that I had moved on
Because the last thing that I wanted
Was to hurt you
I swear I never meant to lead you on
But I guess I had you running around in circles
And I hope you know that wasn’t my intention
No it wasn’t my intention

I’ve never been the type to wear
My heart on my sleeve. It’s nothing new
You’ve always had to read between the lines
And I suspect you saw it coming
But you chose to play along
I couldn’t tell you that I had moved on
Because the last thing that I wanted
Was to hurt you

I swear I never meant to lead you on
But I guess I had you running around in circles
And I hope you know that wasn’t my intention
No, it wasn’t my intention
It wasn’t my intention
