How It Comes Off

(album: In This Kind Of Light - 2021)

Fifteen hundred miles away
Trip with your friends for your brother's birthday
I wanted to go but couldn't get away
So your brother's friend Janet took my place and
Then the pics started rolling in
And in everyone that she's in, she's right by you
You may not have a clue, or maybe you do

Maybe you're not doing anything wrong
And maybe there's nothing going on

But that's how it comes off
That's how it starts
That's how one thing leads to another
'Till you can't stop
And I don't mean to accuse you
Cause I know you don't mean to
Break my heart
But that's how, that's how it comes off

I know sometimes I tend to overthink
But for all I know, you're buying her drinks
I know how easy it is to fall for you
And I don't doubt she's falling too
Is she playing with her dress?
Are you spinning that wedding band?

But that's how it comes off
That's how it starts
That's how one thing leads to another
'Till you can't stop
And I don't mean to accuse you
Cause I know you don't mean to
Break my heart
But that's how, that's how it comes off

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe you ain't done nothing yet
Or maybe you have

Cause that's how it comes off
That's how it starts
That's how one thing leads to another
'Till you can't stop
And I don't mean to accuse you
Cause I know you don't mean to
Break my heart
But oh that's how, that's how it comes off

Are you holding her and keeping me in the dark?
Cause that's how it comes off
