Lovers Leave

(album: Little Victories - 2015)

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've tried
But its 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 installments
With that stupid dumb-waiter that he never seems to use
He'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 circle 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

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

Whilst 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 despertate 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 circle 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

They're a past tense couple presently separated
A future meeting couldn't fix all this
So they swing in new circle 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
