Lovers Leave

歌詞

Quick drying promises could get anyone into trouble After a handful of no's you're practically inconsolable Waiting for you at home is a smile that says at least you tried But it's falling on deaf eyes because you're dying inside Green tea at high noon with his new Venezuelan girlfriend In a fancy Paris loft with expensive art instalments And that stupid dumb-waiter that he never seems to use It's there to raise eyebrows and possibly amuse They're a past tense couple Presently separated A future meeting couldn't fix all this So they swing in new circles Some good and some bad Lovers walk and lovers leave Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee Staring into space and the bed is breathing rhythmically Along with the rest of the bed ridden infantry The photos on the wall look on in disappointment So you turn your back like you've been doing for a while While assessing his expansive business portfolio His mind casts back to that girl from long ago A smile plays on his lips as he remembers her barely As the girl who was desperate to get hitched way too early. They're a past tense couple Presently separated A future meeting couldn't fix all this So they swing in new circles Some good and some bad Lovers walk and lovers leave Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee Lovers walk and lovers leave And it's all so very acrimonious
