I don’t wanna hear it
No–
I don’t wanna hear it.
I don’t need another excuse
to wait around for you.
Black Tea
and a table for two
All the small things
between me and you
leave us empty
but we go through the motions
this time it’s Fatal
this time it’s Fatal
So what’s new?
I hear that you’re leavin
How soon?
and is she the reason?
It's old news
but I still feel like screamin
Cause it all feels so Final
this all feels so Final
Don’t linger
observe at your own risk
I’ll take the stairs this time
bolt the door, make a choice
don’t compromise
bite your lip, fake surprise
it’s in the eyes
Now I realize
we were hangin by a thread anyway
we were hangin by a thread
we were hangin by a thread anyway
we were hangin by a thread
Cause you were never mine to take,
that was my mistake.
You were never mine to take.
That was my mistake.
No, you were never mine to take,
That was my mistake.
You were never mine to take,
darlin’ my mistake.
But I am not weak I just get restless
I wasn’t weak I just got restless
I am not weak I just get restless
as hell
some Black Tea
and a table for two
Heartbreak’s just a thing that we do
but how long must we go through these motions?
