about

This song touches on my struggles with grief and the breakdown of a long term relationship and the emotional and physical scars both can leave. It also references Coffee & Cigarettes which is the first song I released on my first EP (under Michaela Woods)

lyrics

You watched me age 19, bury my dad
And you asked for his permission to become my wife, the day before he died
And he’ll never know my next lover
No he’ll never know my next lover
No he’ll never know my next lover

Coffee and cigarettes back when I took part in neither, too young to understand but look at me now
Pinot in a can in one hand, cigarette in the other
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you

And I don’t want to deal with death
I don’t want to shake his hand anymore
He took you from me way too soon
And I don’t want to deal with death

And when did you fall out of love
Do you remember the first time you looked at me
And didn’t feel anything
Did it happen overnight or did it slowly seep in

Coffee and cigarettes back when I took part in neither, too young to truly understand but look at me now
Pinot in a can in one hand, cigarette in the other
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you
They both left a scar, but that hurt less than you
And they both left a scar, but that hurt less than you
