Birthmark (Acoustic)

That red wine birthmark on your shoulder

Two winters longer than an fling

Could try again when we are older

Maybe the time could kill the sting

I wake up it's fine

in the morning light

I feel sort of over it

and it's not like I

lay awake and cry

over someone undeserving

of my space and time

god i swear I'm fine

but it's when I go to bed

Do you remember last December?

Screaming our heads off on the frost

and how all of our friends were watching us

the way you watch something combust

and the words that hung hot in the air

and how dumb did you think that I was?

cause none of your lies were adding up

now I know

I know I know I'm better off but

I wake to find your memory

replay that same Soccer Mommy

song for an hour or til you leave

Whichever first provides relief

Was there a time before you, me?

I watch us from the mezzanine

where once there was a bolder man

you cower now in comic sans
