Lyrics
Verse 1
Your coat still smells like rain and cigarettes
I swore I’d quit you twice, but I ain’t made it yet
Street lamps hum that lonely yellow tune
While my heels tap out the rhythm of my own undoing
Pre-Chorus
I keep pacing ‘round these four bare walls
Every shadow looks like you might call
But the silence always wins
And I’m too proud to let you in
Chorus
So I’ll pour another truth into this glass
Sip it slow, let the hours pass
You’re the storm I can’t out-run,
But I look so good in the damage you’ve done
Last night on Camden Road,
You kissed me cold and let me go
Verse 2
Your love’s a record with a crack down the side
It skips on all the nights we should’ve let it slide
We dance in circles till we’re dizzy and blind
Then blame our balled-up tempers on the cheap red wine
Pre-Chorus
And the rain comes down like London tears
Soaks the paper trail of wasted years
I still wear your shadow’s weight
Like it’s stitched into my fate
Chorus
So I’ll pour another truth into this glass
Sip it slow, let the hours pass
You’re the storm I can’t out-run,
But I look so good in the damage you’ve done
Last night on Camden Road,
You kissed me cold and let me go
Bridge
Maybe I’ll leave the door unlocked tonight
Let the city’s hum drown out the fight
But if you show, don’t say a word
I’ve forgotten half the lies I’ve heard
Chorus (repeat)
I’ll pour another truth into this glass
Sip it slow, let the hours pass
You’re the storm I can’t out-run,
But I look so good in the damage you’ve done
Last night on Camden Road,
You kissed me cold and let me go
Outro
Camden lights fade in the misty glow
Guess some goodbyes you just never know
I
