Table For One
I'll take a table for one
At a seat that's made for two
In the booth by the windowsill
Where I used to sit across from you
Head down I pay the bill
Watch you buying her a drink
All flashy smile and G and T
Just like you'd order for me
And I hate the awkward small talk
And the tasteless Gatsby wit
Cuz really I'm just seconds away from
Completely losing it
Can you stop saying
When we were together
Cuz if you haven't gathered
I don't wanna remember
The way you played
With my head
And my heart
Cuz you knew you could
Can you stop talking about
What I used to be like
Cuz your words cut like a knife
And I'm at the barrel of your gun
And when all is said and done
I'm still at a table for one
You smirk and call me an old friend
I nod politely in reply
It's good to see that nothings changed
You still look guiltless when you lie
And I hate the routine questions
How long have you lived in these parts
If only I could let her in on the punchline
That I grew up in your heart
Can you stop saying
When we were together
Cuz if you haven't gathered
I don't wanna remember
The way you played
With my head
And my heart
Cuz you knew you could
Can you stop talking
About what I used to be like
Cuz your words cut like a knife
And I'm at the barrel of your gun
And when all is said and done
I'm still at a table for one
Maybe you have filled my seat
Baby I didn't belong there anymore
And maybe you have replaced me
But I'd given up on keeping score
And truly it's a blessing in disguise
I was none the wise
You had me overrun
And when all is said and done
I'm sitting at a table for one
At a seat that's made for two
In the booth by the windowsill
Where I used to sit across from you
Head down I pay the bill
Watch you buying her a drink
All flashy smile and G and T
Just like you'd order for me
And I hate the awkward small talk
And the tasteless Gatsby wit
Cuz really I'm just seconds away from
Completely losing it
Can you stop saying
When we were together
Cuz if you haven't gathered
I don't wanna remember
The way you played
With my head
And my heart
Cuz you knew you could
Can you stop talking about
What I used to be like
Cuz your words cut like a knife
And I'm at the barrel of your gun
And when all is said and done
I'm still at a table for one
You smirk and call me an old friend
I nod politely in reply
It's good to see that nothings changed
You still look guiltless when you lie
And I hate the routine questions
How long have you lived in these parts
If only I could let her in on the punchline
That I grew up in your heart
Can you stop saying
When we were together
Cuz if you haven't gathered
I don't wanna remember
The way you played
With my head
And my heart
Cuz you knew you could
Can you stop talking
About what I used to be like
Cuz your words cut like a knife
And I'm at the barrel of your gun
And when all is said and done
I'm still at a table for one
Maybe you have filled my seat
Baby I didn't belong there anymore
And maybe you have replaced me
But I'd given up on keeping score
And truly it's a blessing in disguise
I was none the wise
You had me overrun
And when all is said and done
I'm sitting at a table for one
