lyrics

When I woke up this morning
I said “no more sad love songs”
Then I made myself a cup of tea
But the fucking milk was sour and lumpy

So I threw it against the wall
And traced its dribbling trajectory
Jaye says “now you can just sing sour stories”

Like you said this is what you wanted, what you wanted
And you said “this is life, this is life, this is life,
and what good is a heart that can’t be bruised?”
But I’m not a paper cup to be thrown away once I’ve been used

And I know, I know, I know
That it’s all in my mind
But that doesn’t explain the mess I made
Scrubbing that wall with lemon rind

And you know, you know, you know
That there’s no use crying now
Something your mother once said
That you’ve only just figured out…

As you say this is what you wanted, what you wanted
And you say “this is life, this is life, this is life,
and what good is a heart that can’t be bruised?”
But I’m not a paper cup to be thrown away after you’re through

And you won’t believe me
When I say “you’ve been outdone",
and that a new way to love is just a new way to hurt someone

And I won’t believe me
When I say “I’ve had my fun”
‘Cos even the days I don’t lose
End in nights I never feel that I’ve won

When I say this is what I wanted, what I wanted
And I’ll say “this is life, this is life, this is life,
and what good is a heart that can’t be bruised?”
But you’re not a paper cup to be thrown away once you’ve been used
