Lyrics
Do you remember when we met? I was sitting alone in the bar... You came out of the dark Like a spark I jumped up and stumbled But you grabbed on and an hour later I was lost in your bed And we were making love And now I run my fingers on these walls In this house I thought we built together Looking back… It was mostly my calloused hands. You just gave the orders And oh my god, like a wife (oh my god, I became a wife) I did all I did just to please you. You traded twenty five years For a twenty five year old Said you loved me still But I had grown so cold So you just had to Just had to let me go I still can’t figure out where it started to go wrong Was it the games we played with others? When we started choosing lovers like young men do? But you were selfish with your greed Careless with my love turning silent So yes, I grew cold – I withdrew. You traded twenty five years For a twenty five year old Said you loved me still But I had grown so cold So you just had to Just had to let me go Touching your skin Made me think of all the times I was standing to the side Frozen silence. Was it my fault? For never having the strength to speak up? Wanting you to see my pain Wanting you to read my mind (my fault, my fault, all my fault) I thought love was doing I thought love was thinking of you (I gave you all of me) I built you a desk I built you a shed I built you the cocktail cart for the whiskey you so loved I put up the walls Ran the wires Fixed the plumbing too I put so much thought into every gift Thinking about you And what did you do? You gave me cash. I laughed and told you that’s just what I wanted... (just what I wanted) But every single time the heat in me cooled just a little Why couldn’t you see me? Past my eyes so blue like cold water That’s what you always moaned in our bed (blue like cold water) You traded twenty five years For a twenty five year old Said you loved me still But I had grown so, so cold So you just had to Just had to let me go You traded twenty five years For a twenty five year old And here I am in this empty house alone and so, so cold.
