Black Coffee Lyrics

I don't wanna say

I'm gonna end up alone

I've never had an anchor to hold onto

Another burnt out stray

With so little follow-through

You better make a choice before it's done for you

They delayed the game but now it's far too late

Am I really self-aware or saving face?

Waiting

For the day they set me free

But if you're in love

I'll stay and never leave

Patient

But afraid of everything

It's not healthy but

To thoughts of you I cling

The love I never lost

The smell of black coffee

So far nothing has gone

According to my plans

I'm spending all my time trying to understand

Just why

I've got so much to say

Penny for thoughts on my own dime

I've spent a bit too long living in my own mind

I'm so eager but I'll wait another day

Am I really self-aware or saving face?

Waiting

For the day they set me free

But if you're in love

I'll stay and never leave

Patient

But afraid of everything

It's not healthy but

To thoughts of you I cling

The love I never lost

The smell of black coffee

Now I don't know

What you're going through

But I wish we could talk

Do you think of me?

Darling, let me know

Until then I will be

Waiting

For the day they set me free

Cause I'm down and out

And lying through my teeth

Patient

But afraid of everything

So I'll run away

And hope it heals the sting

Of love I never lost

The smell of black coffee
