I said this is my last smoke You said "yeah sure" You always had a way of making a liar out of me But tonight you're right Your eyes are glazed and I'm amazed I've got you here But you're not staying Tonight, I think I'm right You're standing in the doorway with that look on your face Like I can be replaced Like there's no other way to be alone tonight With you tonight I spent the walk home thinking of the words I said And how they racked up against the novels I had written in my head
So I think I'll try to forget tonight We were laughing about King's Cup And how no one ever plays by the same rules But we don't talk anymore, Only at parties in pa**ing But I don't miss it all that much Selfish doesn't describe how I thought I could take you with me By leaving you behind I should have quit While I was ahead Instead of staying late Then I couldn't ask What could have been What I should have said 'Cause you only ever know the things That are close enough to touch
