Fine, Fine Line

This isn't really a legitimate blog entry, I suppose. It's just I can't get the lyrics of the song out of my head, and so I'm sharing it with everyone else. I don't have the actual song here, but I know, for a fact, it's floating somewhere here on the world wide web, in case you're interested. It's from Avenue Q, which is being staged in the Philippines right now (and which I'm dying to see, but, well, I can't). It's 'There's a Fine, Fine Line' by Kate Monster of, yes, Avenue Q. I know some of you will find the lyrics only too relevant, so enjoy:

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
