about

The moment when you realize its gone south.

lyrics

I ask if you are feeling bored
feeling that I’m being ignored
You sit there cruel and picturesque
Scribbling away at the desk

When will you go or move away
Or find the words to gently say
That you’ve been trying just to see
A gentle way of leaving me

And then she does
what a statue does
Idles awake and just because
Like every car I’ve ever owned
Silently before getting
Towed,
And so Ill wait
Until you move

Sit and text away on your phone
Just by the train stop waiting zone
And in between the subway cars
Not holding you but to the bars

You lied about your cigarette
Saying you quit when we first met
And then she does what a statue does Idles awake and just because

Je t’ai donné que je pouvais
Mais comme un statue, T’as resté
Tu m’as laisse tres affligé  
Tu me connais et tu sais
