Barenaked Ladies - Enid lyrics

(The silence, the terror, the pain
The horror as your mom comes downstairs)

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 lip gloss

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
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
(Whoa oh) there were times when I thought
I would kill you
But can you blame me? I was only a kid

Now, tell me why we never
Really 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

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
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 it's not fair to say that it's
'cause I was three inches shorter then
And it's not fair to say that it's
'cause I was only fifteen years old
But maybe it's fair to say that
It was a lack of communication
I took a phone message
Oh and speaking of communication
Oh, and Enid? Enid you got 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
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right
Through each other anyway but Enid
We never really knew each other anyway

I can teach you how to dance, how to sing
How to knit how to make things that you
Never ever made before
Enid, I can teach you how
To use cookie cutters
To make crazy things out of Play-Doh
Little houses, little farms
Little accessories for your mom
For your Barbie set
For your friends and your family
Enid, I can teach you how
To snowmobile, cross-country ski, snowshoe
But I don't want to!

Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Enid, we never really knew each other anyway
Maybe we always saw right
Through each other anyway but Enid
We never really knew each other anyway
