Shallow Alcove - She Stays Quiet lyrics

He walks home alone and thinks about
How his whole life has gone
He's fucked it up again it's all his fault
He knows that he has to tell
She probably knows, he might as well
It's all the same it probably saves him pain

First he cracks and then he split's
He's stressed so now he can't resist
The cigarettes he promised her he'd quit

He found the answers to the questions
She don't ask they're bottled
Up inside his flask so he empties it again
Smiles and waves she shoots a grin
She knows she's too mature for him
A simple shame she tames with sips of gin

First he cracks and then he split's
His fingers smell of cigarettes
They're black with ash so he
Washes off his hands
She stays quiet, he don't think
And pours himself another drink
It's stronger than he'll ever be for her

First he cracks and then he split's
His fingers smell of cigarettes
They're black with ash so he
Washes off his hands
She stays quiet, he don't think
And pours himself another drink
It's stronger than he'll ever be for her
