February 4th - Best Ex

Here I am

Tried to sleep on the flight

Curled up like a page

In the book I never read

You lent it to me

I’ll read it eventually

As for now, I read the change in your face

When you see me in baggage claim

I know you don’t kiss me, don’t kiss me the same

When you’re leaving

And I walk away, away, away

Away, away, away

A white mess of sheets

You’re lying in a hotel bed next to me

The sleep English coast

Put your hand in the pocket of my coat

I remember the change in your face

When you see me in baggage claim

I know you don’t kiss me, don’t kiss me the same

When I’m leaving

And I walk away, away, away

Away, away, away

Away, away, away

Away, away, away

You only say you love me when you’re leaving

Say you love me, but please don’t leave

When I walk away, away, away

Away, away, away

Away, away, away

Away, away, away

Do you love me?

Someday you’ll stay
