HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY

A

It was the highlight of my day,
My usual routine telephone call,
Now your thought I try to keep at bay,
Think little of you, or have no thoughts at all.

I've made such a lot of fruitless tries,
So many nightly unanswered calls,
And then I stayed awake till the sunrise,
Hoping that I'll get through when night falls.

I've sent so many sms imploring,
Entreating you or begging for some news,
That in the end it just became boring,
A stupid enterprise of no use.

Refrain
I don't know if I love you or I hate you,
I don't know how I changed, I'm not sure,
I had to re-assess you, to re-rate you,
To make my heart like stone, to endure.

B

And yet, I never change, I keep on calling,
A nightmare has become this old routine,
Look at these photos, girl, they are unrolling,
The places of torture where I've been.

Imagine just the rain that was beating,
My desperation in the chilly wind,
Returning in a house without heating,
And of your whereabouts not a hint.

Imagine just the tears and the sorrow,
Forcing myself awake to try again,
Saying, "If not tonight, perhaps tomorrow",
And keep on calling in the driving rain.

Refrain
I don't know if I love you or I hate you,
I don't know how I changed, I'm not sure,
Remember nights I had to masturbate you,
Your shaken confidence to re-assure.

C

Is this how you repay me for my loving?
Just by a soft and silent ruthless kill?
You send me out on telephone box roving,
Then beat retreat to Koutsounari Hill?

I did not ever ask for a rose garden,
Only some news about your well being,
My soul I had to train and to harden,
Cause it was plain, you were not so keen.

Of course I was in love, what should I say?
Wanted to speak with you, to laugh, to joke,
It was the highlight of my day,
Our nightly routine telephone talk.

Refrain
I don't know if I love you or I hate you,
I don't know how I changed, I'm not sure,
Like old times I would like to penetrate you,
To give your new infection some old cure.
