lyrics

Mum's blue bowl by the sink

Cold toast sat there getting hard

You saw my coat on the chair

And the bruise round my left hand, scarred

You left two sugars on the tray

Didn't ask, just slid it near

I said, "I'm sound," looking down

You said, "Come here," and pulled me near

Your eyes went straight to my face

Past the grin I tried to wear

You heard the shake in my voice

Before I knew it was there

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

Before I said a thing

Bus home past Temple Meads

Rain on the glass, red brake glow

I had my jaw clenched tight

You knew from the way I'd go

You left a note on the door

"Tea's on, don't vanish again"

I stood with my keys in my fist

Like a kid outside in the rain

Your hand on my shoulder, quick

Like you knew where the crack would be

You named the thing I hid

And made a small room for me

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

Before I said a thing

Back room, August, blinds half-drawn

You passed me the cheap black mug

No big speech, just that look

And the push when I froze in the rug

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

You clocked me

Before I said a thing
