I could tell you the moment, the time and the place, the cashmere i was wearing
A totally different, brand new woman, not the girl you let in
Into your apartment who just went and lost it, all the sense she was raised with
And she didn’t know what kissing you’d mean
You buy the groceries, she pours the coffee, you go for something stronger
We play all the same games but all of the rules change when you say it won’t last longer than
That august day standing in the shade, just past my birthday
And you forgot to tell me who you were
That underground summer cost so much more than the train fare
Just three weeks and two cups of whiskey to get there
I could never beat the taste
I could never bear the shame
But after a few years of the same old tears
I can’t even tell you how much i love that we never speak
I get on the offense, said i didn’t feel sh#t, you were a mask i was wearing
Ease the transition, be a cliche then find the thing i was missing
November days turned to winter grays, and damn it was fun
Trade jameson for jack, said i’d never look back, and then there’s the business end of your gun
That underground summer cost so much more than the train fare
Just three weeks and two cups of whiskey to get there
I could never beat the taste
I could never bear the shame
But after a few years of the same old tears
I can’t even tell you how much i love that we never speak
It’s not that i need you, don’t even want you
Don’t you dare say my name
It’s not that i need you, don’t even want you
Don’t you dare say my name
It’s not that i need you, don’t even want you
Don’t you dare say my name
It’s not that i need you, don’t even want you
Don’t you dare say my name
I don’t, i don’t, i don’t, i don’t, i don’t, i don’t, i don’t
I don’t need you
That underground summer cost so much more than the train fare
Just three weeks and two cups of whiskey to get there
I could never beat the taste
I could never bear the shame
But after a few years of the same old tears
I can’t even tell you how much i love that we never speak
