lyrics
A cup of coffee in a quaint cafe
Miles away
from yesterday
A stranger sitting in a corner booth
Looks like you
the things you'd do
Examining my methods of letting go
I won't act so
Confident now that I'm on my own
That way we'll stay
Separate but equal in the scheme of things
Let me be, please
Forget the colors of my favorite clothes
Let them fade, slip away
A cigarette that doesn't ease the pain
Grey and blue
it tastes like you
I heard them saying on the radio
the war's begun
and no one's won
Reflecting on the way that I packed my bags
Was that too brash
Could I have ended things tastefully?
Would you let me?
Your letters go in the fireplace
I can't read that
Your feelings for me are a cross to bear
I don't care
This is where
it stops
