Maureen how I wish I could have been
A better man than the one that you have seen
Too scared to live and too afraid to dream
Maureen

I know I've underwhelmed and I've overstayed
And I never say the right things at the right time in the right way
I know I've cost you more than I'll ever help you to save
Maureen I've seen

That I've let you down more than I've lifted you up
And I couldn't hold you close so I've been holding you up
And I know I've always been the empty half of the cup
Keep so clean

Maureen, how I wish you could have seen
A better man than the one that I have been
Too brittle to bend and too straight to lean
Maureen

Ah but you've overridden and you've undermined
And you often say the cruelest things at the hardest of times
You've not forgotten or forgiven anyone of my crimes
Maureen come clean

For now you treat me like one of your household chores
And though I hate to hear you crying behind your bedroom door
I just can't do this deafening silence any Maureen
I'm tired of this scene

Maureen how I wish you could have been
Willing to meet me somewhere in-between
The devil and the deep blue sea
Maureen

Do you remember how I used to make you laugh
And walking by the harbour as light turned to dark
The Sun sets soft as silk on my mothers scarf
Was it all a dream
Maureen
