Why Billy Bragg Always Me Cry

its been three years now,
and nearing four
since we laid down
piss drunk on the bathroom floor
in the tub, and in the shower,
in every room
with every hour
I loved you like a true lover should
a new year never tasted so good.
and mr bragg sang us to sleep.

It was more than a fleeting moment
you were more than my fucking girlfriend
and this is so much more than
just another sad song.

and now i'm driving through
a forest that reminds me of you
bc i'm still so close
that I can't see you
so alone yet surrounded too
and I miss you like a true poet should
and billy, he still sings me to sleep

It was more than a fleeting moment
you were more than my fucking girlfriend
and this is so much more than
just another sad song.

the words he sang
cut like a knife
in the most painful way
and the tears they well up
and my chest starts to seize
when he sings all the words
about you and me
"the polaroids that hold us together
will surely fade away
like the love that we spoke forever
on st swithins day"

It was more than a fleeting moment
you were more than my fucking girlfriend
and this is so much more than
just another sad song.
