  • At the table we're polite
    I make a joke but it falls flat
    Silence falls where laughter daily used to flow
    Your job is fine, your friends are cool
    You will make me work for you
    Bitter medicine is exactly what I need
    For I know, I left you bruised
    But when I catch your old perfume
    It takes me back to nights of passion in your room
    You've made an effort with your hair
    It's not for me, I do not dare
    To think that I'm the one you dress for anymore

    Slow down
    You don't care to remember
    Slow down
    You mean to pay me dust?
    When I caught your eye
    I could tell the flame was
    Far from gone
    Am I wrong?

    (Yeah)

    And you called me up this morning
    Well, your voice is like a knife
    I must like the way it hurts me every time
    Please forgive me if it seems
    Like I'm trying to conceal
    What is happening to us or how I feel
    I think I'm angry and I'm sad
    I kept your T-shirt and your cap
    All this evidence is surely looking bad
    Well do you think about me still?
    Are you happy and fulfilled?
    Will I always have a cut that doesn't heal?

    Slow down
    You don't care to remember
    Slow down
    You mean to pay me dust?
    When I caught your eye
    I could tell the flame was
    Far from gone
    Am I wrong? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
