Day 263: Don’t you want me baby, The Human League

So today I was sitting in my living room and my daughter had the TV on and it was playing some 80s music and this classic came one. A song that I very much enjoyed listening to all those years ago and which until now had completely slipped my mind. A song that captures the pain of a love that has died.

Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.
Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t. Don’t you want me?
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
