Lingering Still

You got me a bottle of gin
To make up for everything
You got me a two-dollar card
Trying to come up with words from your heart
And some chocolate I can't have
Cause you knew I wouldn't get mad

Your eyes are still half shut today
While you're asking me "where's the ashtray?"
You got me that record as well
That record that still lets me dwell
Tell me how could I have known
That our love was just on loan?

Fading away
Yet the words you made me say
Find their way lingering still
And my bones are left to heal
Fading away
Yet the words you made me say
Find their way lingering still
And my bones are left to heal

You say you don't know if I meant
Every secret I told you I'd dreamt
I guess it was just much too hard
It was a bitter hello from the start
Yet our bond has grown so fast
We knew time would catch up at last

When we're old will we really look back
On these times when we really lost track
Of what our lives were supposed to be
I guess it's just best not to see
That our worlds so far apart
Couldn't leave our paths unmarked

Fading away
Yet the words you made me say
Find their way lingering still
And my bones are left to heal
Fading away
Yet the words you made me say
Find their way lingering still
And my bones are left to heal
