What If They Were Wrong?

We're losing funds fast

Leaking capital down the pan

We need to cut dead wood

Make efficiencies where we can

Choose some buzzwords chuck 'em in

Optimise then streamline

Boil it down to a 3-point slide

Re-boot, re-brand and re-align

What if they were wrong?

And you aren't arrogant and aloof but you're just trying to belong

In a culture full of ruthless men in suits we get along

When it's just the two of us when we're stuck here after hours

But it's my expertise he needs and he has all the power

Could I be wrong?

Could it be despite my awkwardness that she knew all along

That I needed rescuing this boardroom charade has gone on far too long

I'm not cut out for this but could she picture us together

Ah shit if only she had known me before I met Deborah

Oh what if they were right about him

Suspicion at first sight about him

Have I seen beneath the ego

Still I hear "I told you so"

Oh what is there to like about me

She's just being polite about me

I've forgotten how to be the me

Before I had this seat

Mmm If I found out they were wrong

This is wrong! I stop living this lie tonight

Would he and I turn out alright?

I am burnt out I need to get back to what life is about

I want the success

Some simple happiness

My ambition and C V crave

Less stress more time to paint

Maybe she wants the same things as me

But what if?

The chances are I'm wrong
