Lyrics
I reckon I'm your best dressed ex
Maybe even best at sex
Best at talking โbout my feelings
You say words I say the meaning
Reckon I'm the one you'd call
If there was no-one left to call
I still talk about you too much
We were great until we weren't love
6 months
4 texts
About a thousand times I wondered why I left
Now I'm so damn drunk in the corner shop
See you looking at the wines just like you're lost
And I make a joke, say โI heard that this oneโs something specialโ
Your head turns fast when you hear my voice
A familiar tone over the weekend noise
And I pass the one we used to drink, you say I'm sentimental
And then we laugh
The feeling starts again
I reckon you're the best at heart
Cause even when well fell apart
You clung tighter to the edges
And I just wanted to forget it
Darling know I healed that pain
But that donโt really quite explain
How every night Iโve found excuses
Spend a while stood by the booze itโs
Gone ten
Fine, four
I live and I relive that night the week before
So damn drunk in the corner shop
See you looking at the wines just like you're lost
And I make a joke and say I heard this one's something special
Your head turns fast when you hear my voice
A familiar tone over the weekend noise
And I pass the one we used to drink, you say I'm sentimental
And you dance in
To the radio thatโs barely even audible
And I, I canโt think
I turn away so you donโt know Iโm here for you
And I hear your voice behind me
You whisper to ground and say โIโm sorryโ
So I start to turn toward you
But my actionโs interrupted by the sound of someone new
Through the entrance: a different accent
A deeper voice, he's asking โwho was that then?โ
So I walk on and take my exit
Heโs buying cigarettes your favourite brand in boxes
And as he pays thereโs a window
I catch you looking out the doorway as the wind blows
We lock eyes but your gaze lingers
So I look down and see your hand and through your fingers
A bottle green your holding tightly
You place it on the counter so that I can see
That yellow label that I know by heart
The feeling starts again
