He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up

He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that

He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat

And he put down a key and said I won't be needing that

And he turned and smiled as if that explained it all

And he walked down the hall and he opened the door

And said, 'Of course, I'll call'

Heart, why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away

Now there's a black black black bird in my chest

All a flutter and all caged in

Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head

Who tear at every wise thing I should have said

Heart, why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away

We're not the strangers we were

When we first met

But the kind of strangers at the end

And all that remains is a day without plans

Where I won't be missed, another handful of sand

Heart, why do I bring you love

When all you give me back is pain

Heart, why do we search it out

To watch you wash your hands and walk away
