Lyrics

Dinners for One

Barely awake
And you’re doubling down
For heaven’s sake
Give me a break

Don’t even start
About your labor and loss
And broken heart
Just own your part

We have and we hold
But love fades and folds

Secrets and slips
Poison and pain
Upon our lips
Two sinking ships

Done with the show
The curtain’s come down
It’s time to go
Sad afterglow

We have and we hold
But love fades and folds

So clear in the rearview
The drama we’d veer to
To fan dying embers
And try to remember
What brought us together
Those thoughts of forever
Now threadbare and tattered
But once really mattered

What lies ahead
Are dinners for one
And lonely beds
And booze or meds

Maybe I’ll see
That some good parts of you
Will stay with me
Faithfully
