You Win (The Breakup)

from Regret Everything by Signposted Disaster

about

If I've ever written one track that epitomises the entire feel of an album, and perfectly captures my feelings at the time of writing it, it's this.

Notice also it's not a crap instrumental like every other opening track on an album. Progress!

lyrics

Grabbed your abandoned tea bags from the cupboard
Made my way to the back yard
Gripped them tightly in my hand
Threw them out hard

I don't know why I'm so angry
When I'm the one whose to blame
I'm the only person playing
But I'm losing this game

Yeah you win the breakup
That's not something I'd make up

Folded up your romantic velociraptor
Kissed it once, threw it in the bin
Fell to my knees and prayed to God
To forgive me for my sin

I wonder briefly if I should've kept it
In case you get famous someday
But it's too clearly made with me in mind
And it wouldn't fetch much on eBay

Yeah you win the breakup
If I wore it, my tears would be ruining my make up

I still haven't opened Okami
And I barely glanced at that art book
Hoping if I don't use those things you gave me
Then you'd give me another look

But I saw you out walking with your mother
Talking and laughing and looking happy
And I know that you're seeing another
And I really wish that didn't make me feel so sappy

So you win the breakup
I just wish we could make up
