Curtains

(album: Savages - 2021)

Wish I was jealous of a stranger
I'm haunted by whispers in the town
I'm such an entertainer
Every time our real friends come round
Your momma says I shouldn't hate her
But that home's like a battleground
I took every ounce of strength I had
To build you up so you could break me down

You made me a memory
You promised me a century
Does she leave the porch light on?
Can she sleep when you're not home?
Does she know that's my old ring?
Does she know I painted that old swing?
Bet she ain't found the cigarettes
Behind that bathroom sink

Heard she made you cover that old ink
Does she know you still call every time you drink?
It hurts the more I think
I hung the curtains you closed on me

I feel like a runaway
That knows I'm better off all alone
I'm the blame that you live with
I'm the ghost inside that home
I know that you tell her those lies not to break her heart
Next time that Maker's hits the mark
Tell her that you'll always be
The man she met through me

You made me a memory
You promised me a century
Does she leave the porch light on?
Can she sleep when you're not home?
Does she know that's my old ring?
Does she know I painted that old swing?
Bet she ain't found the cigarettes
Behind that bathroom sink

Heard she made you cover that old ink
Does she know you still call every time you drink?
It hurts the more I think
I hung the curtains you closed on me
I hung the curtains you closed on me
