Where is the face you wore to that party
Is it cried down the drain with your shoes in your hand?
You had a laugh and I called you dirty
Then we went home together, but not as planned
You looked for bad news out of the paper
And read it to me like it was my fault
I got it tight at the breakfast table
Let's not lead these soldiers to war
We said we wouldn't do this again
You know there's nothing you can break I can't mend
As we construct another argument
You leave me with the lights left on
And I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear
It twists my gut and I can't find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn't have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride don't walk away
Calm down, you'll wake the neighbours
She whispers and shouts
I sit and take it
But soft as I am
You're on my button dear
Break glass, and tip the table
You're raising your hands
Red and unstable
It's not that I'm calm
But at least I try
You leave me with the lights left on
And I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear
It twists my gut and I can't find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn't have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride
No you and your pride
And all debts wiped from the ledger
The bruise on my head, too small to mention
You had to be there
A trailing arm and an absence of care
Consider this, that I'm right
And just conceded to sleep through the night
You won't believe it but I can be fair
Don't need a motive to say that I care
We are not the same anymore
You leave me with the lights left on
And I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear
It twists my gut and I can't find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn't have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride don't walk away
We said we wouldn't do this again
