Sapphire Tea

Pour me some tea, babe, I love the reflections

I miss the swirling whirlpool that once held our affections

Rosy glazed, glassy eyed

When I died, “Well I tried.”

Feckless boy, useless attempts

I’ll play coy if you pay the rent

Sleepin’ on my couch, run his fingers up my thigh

No love lives here, just you and I

And I feel so blue, oh my sapphire hues

I only wanted you, “Please just tell me what to do.”

Then condensed oxygen clogs up my lungs

When he won’t look at me, feels like we are done

We tried, we tried, we tried

But that’s no match for a lie

Love’s no match in my eyes

To light the candle we despise

I dropped the matchbox in the tea

‘Cause I wanted you gone, but I want you with me

Please don’t go, “Please don’t cry,”

There’s no use in asking why

I loved your soul, you loved my eyes

But love’s no match, at least we tried
