I pace the floor in my favourite shoes
I got dressed up 7 times, just to impress you
And I wish you'd do this for me too
The restaurant is loud, so we don't fit in
Words are exchanged but nobody's speaking
And I miss when my world was a place that you lived

From my side of the table
I watch how we fall apart and turn back to strangers
And I could've screamed, "Why won't you look at me?"
But I know that you'd never know what I mean
I look for a window
But you hands and your mouth and your heart are all closed
I watch as I come to realise
The person I want didn't show up tonight
And I know I'm eating alone

I ask about the day you leave town
You're shocked I remember but I could recount your life
Like I wrote it all down
The distance is cold, you blame the weather
I can't help but think about early September, that night
You held me together
Sat on my bedroom floor
You said, "I can't want you more"
We lay in a TV light
And you made me laugh like I was alright

From my side of the table
I watch how we fall apart and turn back to strangers
And I could've screamed, "Why won't you look at me?"
But I know that you'd never know what I mean
I look for a window
But you hands and your mouth and your heart are all closed
I watch as I come to realise
The person I want didn't show up tonight
And I know I'm eating alone

I can't forget our best days
The nights where we stayed up state
The smell of mint at dawn
The way that you flinch your arms
And I begged you please don't go
The night that I drove you home
And my mama watched me cry
As I asked her why it's easy to tell me goodbye?

And from my side of the table
I watch how we fall apart and turn back to strangers
And I could've screamed, "Why won't you look at me?"
But I know that you'd never know what I mean
I look for a window
But you hands and your mouth and your heart are all closed
I watch as I come to realise
The person I love didn't show up tonight
And I know I'm eating alone
