Lovers Leave - The Strypes

Quick drying promises could get anyone into trouble

After a handful of no’s you’re practically inconsolable

Waiting for you at home

Is a smile that says at least you’ve tried

But its falling on deaf eyes because you’re dying inside

Green tea at high noon with his new Venezuelan girlfriend

In a fancy Paris loft with expensive art installments

With that stupid dumb-waiter that he never seems to use

He’s there to raise eyebrows and possibly amuse

They’re a past tense couple presently separated

A future meeting couldn’t fix all this

So they swing in new circle some good and some bad

Lovers walk and lovers leave

Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee

Lovers walk and lovers leave

And it’s all so very acrimonious

Staring into space and the bed is breathing rhythmically

Along with the rest of the bed-ridden infantry

The photos on the wall look on in disappointment

So you turn your back like you’ve been doing for a while

Whilst assessing his expansive business portfolio

His mind casts back to that girl from long ago

A smile plays on his lips as he remembers her barely

As the girl who was despertate to get hitched way too early

They’re a past tense couple presently separated

A future meeting couldn’t fix all this

So they swing in new circle some good and some bad

Lovers walk and lovers leave

Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee

Lovers walk and lovers leave

And it’s all so very acrimonious

They’re a past tense couple presently separated

A future meeting couldn’t fix all this

So they swing in new circle some good and some bad

Lovers walk and lovers leave

Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee

Lovers walk and lovers leave

And it’s all so very acrimonious
