lirik lagu delikately - a lady might suppose
i was polite to a fault
and the fault, predictably, was mine
i danced with the wrong men
just to keep up appearances
downed champagne too quickly
so i’d have an excuse to leave
there’s a cruelty in being admired
and completely untouched
a lady might suppose
she’s easier to read than to reach
like a book on the shelf
no one wants to bend the spine of
they say i captured love
but only after it left
they underline my endings
and skip the part where i waited
i wanted less than forever
and still it was too much
had i the nerve, i’d have said:
“hey — if you’re gonna disappear
can you at least spell my name right in the memory?”
i kept my coat on
just to feel wanted by something
you were staring at the wallpaper
like it owed you an apology
maybe it did
there’s a violence in being looked at
by eyes that never intend to stay
a lady might suppose
she’s easier to read than to reach
like a book on the shelf
no one wants to bend the spine of
they say i captured love
but only after it left
they underline my endings
and skip the part where i waited
no one ever said “you first”
or “stay,” like they meant it
i’ve always been the chapter
just before it gets good
so i write it all down
then cross out the ending
another book closed
another lesson still pending
a lady might suppose
she’s tragic in the right light
like an oil painting
hung just high enough to miss the cracks
they speak of romance
as if it bore my signature
they quote my lines
but not the questions underneath
i wanted less than forever
but apparently, that was too much
i’ve read a thousand endings
not one wrote me in
