From My Side of the Table

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
