from I Don’t Belong Here Anymore by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

She only smokes when she's depressed and right now her hands are shaking. I don't mind the red wine stains or the glasses that she's breaking on the floor. It's not that they've meant much to me. Cheesy dishes at discount prices never make you think that you've got it all. They make you think you should earn more. I tried to be something more than just a photo in your wallet. Not just the antagonist in all those boring stories that you tell your friends. Maybe I was lying when I said I’ll be back in a week but so were you when you said that you'd wait for me. I don't want to sound naïve but I really thought forever was longer than five years. Maybe she's not perfect but she's here. I hold her hand just for the comfort, for the warm and cosy feel. Maybe she knows the words "I love you" in a million different ways but she has never asked herself what they could mean and now she takes it out on me. She only smiles when she is nervous because she never gets my jokes. She tries to change the topic and looks at me confused and I don't care. I couldn't be much happier because what was left of you and me was nothing but a shared landline and our inabilities. Now that we keep things separated you can keep the friends I've never liked and I will keep the ones you've hated. "How long did it take you to accept that I won't come home to make things right, to give it a try? And how long did it take you to finally get my "jokes" only to find that you were the punchline?"
