lyrics

I’ve shut off every part of me
I’ve closed the doors to make me feel
I’ve let go of a thing called love
I’ve left my heart inside a locked room

With a safe as a bed and locks by my head
Where you’ll find me, buried in the sand

'Til you walked in and you sat down with a friend
And you tasted every kind of wine that we had
And we laughed at all the stupid words that we said
When I should have been serving with Barbara and Reg

Why didn’t I ask for your number
Why didn’t I ask for your name
Why didn’t I find some stupid way
To just exchange some little way

I couldn’t let that voice be still
The one that speaks and tells me silt
It carries on like I’m a creep
And that I should just go to sleep, alone again

You came to pay for just one more
A glass of red I overpoured
I asked if you had seen my shirt
You said you had and it was pert

When you came to pay, I didn’t ask your name
But you said to me, what a pleasure it was to meet
And I stood there, just agreeing with what you said

Why didn’t I ask for your number
Why didn’t I ask for your name
Why didn’t I find some stupid way
To just exchange some little way

Maybe I've made it up all inside my head
When I’m actually just another creep instead

Why didn’t I ask for your number
Why didn’t I ask for you name
I couldn’t even share my Instagram
I only have your best friend's name
