Lyrics
Walking me home in your corduroy coat
I know that you must have been cold
But you said "it's fine"
And you waved goodbye
You have a knack for letting things go
And you don't want to tell me too much
Cause they always told you to toughen up
So you do
Well good on you
Tough love
Singing in the kitchen
Tough luck
You're not here to listen
So I changed all the words
Who cares what they were
They were wrong
Cause you're gone
This is why
This is why I don't write love songs
Now that I'm home still wearing my coat
The cold keeps gripping my bones
But I've said "I'm fine"
So many times
I'm afraid that a part of me froze
And I don't want to tell you too much
Cause they always told me to toughen up
But so what if I don't
Tough love
Singing in the kitchen
Tough luck
You're not here to listen
So I changed all the words
Who cares what they were
They were wrong
Cause you're gone
This is why
This is why I don't write love songs
You felt like the start of a love song
Turning the sound on
I was so quiet before
You made me wanna say more
Lyrics filled all of my margins
I heard a soft beat starting
Your smile
My senseless strumming
Hold the door and lead to nothing
I know you'll endure
But I would've given my heart up cold
To keep you warm
If you weren't so
I wish you weren't so
Tough love
Singing in the kitchen
Tough luck
You're not here to listen
So I changed all the words
Who cares what they were
They were wrong
