Yeah…

Knew you’d show up.

Quarter after midnight and your hair’s falling down,

Standing at my front door like the whole night wore you out.

You say, “I’m good,” but your voice sounds tired,

Like you spent all night trying not to start a fire.

You never knock, you still know the code,

Walk in like you hate me, but you still come alone.

Drop your keys on the counter, start pacing the floor,

Like leaving ever fixed anything before.

You say you're over this,

Still standing in my kitchen.

Say you moved on,

But your hands keep fidgeting.

Your ice cold eyes

Always give it away

You say you're fine

But they never behave

You only show up

When pretending gets hard

Middle of the night—

Back here at my door

Your ice cold eyes

Rain on your jacket, cigarette on your sleeve,

Talking ’bout forever like it’s something you don’t believe.

You laugh for a second, then the whole thing drops,

Like holding yourself together finally got too hard.

You blame the city, blame the way things went,

Blame every bad decision and every word you meant.

But when the room goes quiet and the anger burns out,

You always end up saying what you came here about.

You say don’t stay,

Still never really mean it.

Say you're good,

But I know when you don’t believe it.

Your ice cold eyes

Always give it away

You say you're fine

But they never behave

You only show up

When pretending gets hard

Middle of the night—

Right back at my door

Your ice cold eyes

You keep saying

This won’t happen again

But I know that look

And I know where you’ve been

Your ice cold eyes

Always give it away

You say you're fine

But they never behave

Every time you swear

Tonight’s the last goodbye

You disappear—

Then show up right on time

Your ice cold eyes

Never learned to lie
