Lyrics
And it might seem unorthodox
Expressing an unconventional or unusual approach
But I am trying to remove all traces of your personality
Attempting to erase any remnants of the partner's identity
So I'm sending you a box
Sending a box containing items left behind after the breakup
Full of stuff you left when you decided that you'd had enough of me
Referring to the partner's decision to end the relationship
So here are your things starting with a pair of earrings
Listing items left behind, starting with earrings
And I just bet this is your Corrs cassette
Speculating on the ownership of a Corrs cassette
It might sound a little lame
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty of the situation
But we had something so good that I don't want to remember any more
Desiring to forget the past relationship due to its goodness
Because whatever it became
Reflecting on the evolution of the relationship
It started out as something that I've never quite experienced before
Highlighting the uniqueness of the initial experience
I put this in because it looked feminine
Including an item based on its feminine appearance
I'm not quite sure if it was mine or yours
Uncertain ownership of an item, emphasizing the shared history
Can we pretend we never met?
Suggesting a desire to erase the memory of meeting the partner
Pretend there's nothing to forget
Expressing a wish to pretend there is nothing to remember
Can we pretend we weren't in love?
Proposing the idea of pretending that love never existed
Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of
Extending the pretense to having nobody to be reminded of
And now that I've begun I'm finding things everywhere
Discovering reminders of the past relationship unexpectedly
When I think that I am done, I'll find some underwear
Finding personal items, like underwear, during the cleanup
Can we pretend we never met?
Reiterating the desire to pretend the meeting never occurred
Pretend there's nothing to forget
Re-emphasizing the wish to forget and erase memories
Can we pretend we weren't in love?
Continuing the theme of pretending that the love never existed
Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of
Extending the pretense to having nobody to remember
