lyrics

At the corner of my eye there’s a trick of the light
A relic of the time I almost got over you

It’s not a tear, it’s hard like a stone
It glitters like Elvis knew all along
That time was short

I don’t care enough to wonder
I’m too petty to want to know
Who helped you over
The last four years or so

Around my mouth, painted on like a clown’s
Is an upside down dream that rains when I talk

If you need me back baby, you know who to call
I’m moving on by not moving on at all

I don’t care enough to wonder
I’m too petty to want to know
Who helped you over
The last four years or so

In my hand is a champagne stem to toast your new lover
In my hand is a champagne stem to toast your new lover
In my hand is a champagne stem to toast your new lover
And her perfect gentleman
Guess she don’t know you that well yet
