A Decent Cup Of Tea Lyrics
A Decent Cup Of Tea - Frank Turner
It hadn't been a day when
everything had turned out right
She called me up and asked me to come over in the night,
To make her cups of tea and listen quietly as she starts
To list the latest list of bastards
who have trampled on her heart.
She summers by my seas
But she winters without me,
And she cries into her tea
That she secretly lonely.
And oh me, what am I to do?
It's obvious to me,
But she never seems to see
I see her in the nightclubs, I see her in the bars,
At rooftop after-parties, or crammed into friendscars,
And we talk about the weather,
and how she drowns her pain in drink,
And I nod and never ever dare to tell her what I think.
She summers by my seas
But she winters without me,
And she cries into her tea
That she secretly lonely.
And oh me, what am I to do?
It's obvious to me,
But she never seems to see
That it's not about the days
when everything has turned out right,
Yes it's more about the moments
when she calls me in the night
To make her cups of tea and wash
the weary worries from her head
And then to draw the pain out slowly as I put her into bed.
And I slip this information
Into all our conversations
But she never seems to listen
And she never seems to see.
