lyrics

(you'd have stopped)

I asked him in the kitchen in the middle of a Tuesday
Why he never said he knew about the water and the drive
He put the cup down and he did not look at me
And he said you'd have stopped doing it if I'd said

You'd have stopped (you'd have stopped)
That's the whole reason, you'd have stopped
He kept quiet for eleven years, you'd have stopped
You'd have stopped

You'd have stopped, you'd have stopped, you'd have stopped
He protected the one thing I do that is only mine
You'd have stopped, you'd have stopped, you'd have stopped
By saying nothing. For eleven years. On purpose.

(key change up)
I have spent a decade thinking I was getting away with it.
Driving the long way round like a woman with a secret.
And he was standing at a window with the kettle. Watching. Timing it.

You'd have stopped, you'd have stopped, you'd have stopped
He protected the one thing I do that is only mine
You'd have stopped, you'd have stopped, you'd have stopped
By saying nothing. For eleven years. On purpose.

(you'd have stopped...)
