CHORUS: 
Enid we never really knew each 
other anyway 
Enid we never really knew each 
other anyway 

It took me a year 
to believe it was over 
and it took me two more 
to get over the loss. 
I took a beating when you wrote 
me those letters 
and every time I remembered the 
taste of your lipgloss. 

CHORUS 

Maybe we always saw right 
through each other anyway. 
but Enid we never really knew 
each other anyway. 

There were times when I wanted 
to hurt you, 
and there were times when I know that I did. 
There were times when I thought I 
would kill you, 
but you can blame me I was only a 
kid. 

Tell me why we never respected 
each other 
and tell me why I never believed 
that you were a person too 
I always thought that you fancied 
my brother. 

I may not have liked it, oh but 
memory is a strange thing, oh, 
and Enid? 
Enid I remember you. 

CHORUS 

Maybe we always saw right 
through each other anyway, 
but Enid we never really knew 
each other anyway. 

It took me a year 
to believe it was over, 
and it took me two more 
to get over the loss. 
I took a beating when you wrote 
me those letters, 
and every time you told me 
to get lost. 

Now its not fair to say that's its 
'cause I was three inches shorter 
then, 
'and its not fair to say that its 
'cause I was only fifteen years old. 
But maybe its fait to say there was 
a lack of communication, oh, 
and Enid, 
Enid you caught a cold. 

I can get a job I can pay the phone 
bills 
I can cut the lawn cut my hair cut 
out my cholesterol 
I can work overtime I can work in a 
mine 
I can do it all for you, 
But I don't want to. 

Enid we never really knew each 
other anyway.
