lyrics

You saw my kettle on the side

Cold tea ring where I let it go

Your keys in the dish by the tiled hallway

You watched me move too slow

You left a chair by the bay window

A wool coat hanging by the door

You said, “Sit down, eat now”

Before I could ask for more

You cut the oranges thin

Like you knew what I’d been through

Didn’t need my mouth to move

You knew

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

Before I spoke

Before I broke

You saw it first

You saw it first

Sunday at half past ten

You knocked twice with a paper bag

Pears, painkillers, and oatcakes

Your fingerprints on the tag

You folded my shirt on the bedspread

Straightened the lamp by the shelf

You knew by the way I stood in the frame

I was not myself

You cut the oranges thin

Like you knew what I’d been through

Didn’t need my mouth to move

You knew

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

Before I spoke

Before I broke

You saw it first

You saw it first

When the sink kept dripping all night

And I sat with my shoes undone

You didn’t ask for a reason

You just said, “Come on”

You pulled the blind up, let the grey in

Put the toast on the grill

And in that quiet little kitchen

You stayed until I was still

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

You saw it first

Before I spoke

Before I broke

You saw it first

You saw it first
