Thanksgiving

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

Sitting around the dinner table
Turkey and a glass of wine
Do any of our old friends know
About the war in my mind

Will you make us pray
Before we break the bread
You always pushed for what you believed in
And I gave in, again and again

And I can say that I am thankful for you
But now I have to let you out
But like everything I've ever let go
You're covered with scratch marks

As a door is with a dog's pleading
Or an old record at a vintage shop
I'd like to think that I'd be bleeding too
Yet I'm left unloved, untouched

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

Pass the plate
Pass the salt
Rub it in the wound
Of the girl you once loved

Talk our ear off
About how you're fine
Am I the only one who knows
There's no cure to your sick mind

And I can say that I am thankful for you
But now I have to let you out
But like everything I've ever let go
You're covered with scratch marks

As a door is with a dog's pleading (let me in)
Or an old record at a vintage shop (hear me out)
I'd like to think that I'd be bleeding too
Yet I'm left unloved

That's the problem with this season
It always seems to change
The breeze never gives me as much whiplash
As the sound of your name

We're back in our hometowns
Yet nothing is the same
Conversations are hard to swallow
You were never meant to stay (to stay)

I can say that I am thankful for you
Now I have to let you out
But like everything I've ever let go
You're covered with scratch marks

I'm a dog at the door pleading
But the cycle eventually stops
I'd like to think that I'd be bleeding too
Yet I'm left
Unloved
Yet I'm left
Unloved
Yet I'm left
Unloved
