lyrics

You saw my boots by the sink at six

Coffee cold in a red stain ring

I kept my mouth shut, kept my face all bricks

You knew my hands were missing a thing

You picked up the mail off the hallway floor

Saw the shut-down look in my eyes

You set a paper plate by the cracked front door

And you did not ask me why

You slid that chair on the linoleum

Sat by me till the kettle screamed

In the blue of the stove, in the hard cold room

You knew I was coming undone at the seams

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first

Down on Vernor, with the mill dust on my coat

I was halfway gone by noon

You left a plastic bag and a handwritten note

By the truck seat under the moon

At the kitchen table, your thumb on the cup

You tapped twice on the chipped white lid

You saw my shoulder lock, my eyes not looking up

Before I even said what hit

You slid that chair on the linoleum

Sat by me till the kettle screamed

In the blue of the stove, in the hard cold room

You knew I was coming undone at the seams

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first

When the washer rattled in the next room loud

And the basin shook its frame

You placed that rag on my shaking brow

And spoke my name, spoke my name

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first

You knew it first
