Sinead O'Connor - The Last Day of Our Acquaintance Lyrics

This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off

Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love

Days and day
Our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details

Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted

But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
And I know your answer already

This is the last day of our acquaintance
Oh, oh, oh
I will meet you later in somebody's office
Oh, oh, oh
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
Oh, oh, oh
I know your answer already
Oh, oh, oh
I know your answer already
Oh, oh, oh
I know your answer already
