Anything Worse - Paws

Being lonely in bars

Listening to songs you love

Rum and whatever they have to keep me

From push to drive

Bum a smoke

I hate your incoherent rambling

I’d do anything to disappear now

Amongst all things

Passing the house we kissed in

Before you died

Searching for people that I left behind

Faceless lurkers will always run this town

I know them all by trade

I have memories of things that never happened

Wits and patience shrinking thin

Invite you around but I won’t be in

Telling yourself that this is the last day

Soaking your scarf with tears on the subway

Is he the one that you’ve got a thing for?

Is she the one that you have been searching for

Refresh your balance every hour

Throw a smile to the wave that comes in

To wash our lives away

I’ve been wandering around Glasgow

Hoping that we might brush elbows

I can’t think of anything worse

Than pretending that I still love you

Is there anything worse

Then sharing a life with someone that no longer

Loves you?
