lyrics

(cold)

You packed on Sunday while I made the tea
Two bags, no shouting, nothing thrown or said
I asked you if you wanted me to stop you
You said you didn't know, and then you left

I'm good at maths (good at maths)
I'm good at working out the odds
I ran that Sunday forty times
And every version ends the same

Nothing to say, nothing to say
Two years and a doorway and there's nothing left to say
Nothing to say, nothing to say
I had the whole speech ready and I let you walk away

My brother rang from inside on the Tuesday
He heard it in my voice in about four words
He said "you alright" and I said "yeah, y'know"
Which is how men in my family say a thing

I could have said one sentence at the door.
One. I know exactly which one.
I'll be carrying that one for a while.
(808 RETURNS)

Nothing to say, nothing to say
Two years and a doorway and there's nothing left to say
Nothing to say, nothing to say
I had the whole speech ready and I let you walk away

(nothing to say.)
