We met online
I was thirty one you were twenty six
We got on fine
Had the best of times
Then we discovered
I was thirty three you were twenty nine
But that was fine
It didn't matter
No it didn't matter at first
But then we found out
I was hiding something worse
I hadn't told you
I don't wear the trousers
I like skirts
And that hurt
What did we take each other for?
I don't look like my picture
And you've never left these shores
It took a long time
To figure out who we were
You read between lines
I went undercover
We found the pieces
To fill the blanks
In the loaded histories of our lives
Yes you love reading
But only gossip magazines
I play electric guitar
But only in my dreams
I have a temper
And you only eat salad and ice cream
What did we take each other for?
I look nothing like my picture
And you've never left these shores
I love your profile
But that is only one side
It's disappointing
Just how much we had to hide
It seemed so perfect
Cos the boxes that you ticked
Said you could love me
We could be soulmates
In a virtual universe
But that is not where we live
And reality's a curse
We're cyberspaces
Just the gaps in the advertising
Of our souls
What did we take each other for?
I look nothing like my picture
And you've never left these shores
