lyrics

Your shirt on the chair by the fridge

Three cups on the table all day

At the Metrorail window I watch

Your name in the glass drift away

The kettle still clicks at six ten

The radio hums in the hall

I fold up your scarf by the door

Like nothing can answer the call

I used to sing it slow

Now the words cut low

You left the tune on the floor

And I can't wear it anymore

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

It left with your shoes

It left with your ring

Now every small thing

Sings the same old sting

At Adderley taxis pull in

Past bread crates and salt from the bay

I hear our old chorus in queues

In a voice that won't stay the same

Your mug by the sink takes the light

Your key in the bowl stays cold

I tried to keep time in my chest

But time let your side be sold

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

It left with your shoes

It left with your ring

Now every small thing

Sings the same old sting

On Long Street, a bus passes slow

Blue paint, cracked window, rain

I smile at the kids by the corner

Then your laugh comes back again

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

Belongs to the breakup

It left with your shoes

It left with your ring

Now every small thing

Sings the same old sting
