In Another Room

In another room just out of my sight Words we used to say become so slight Will they disappoint? And I know you won't return my kiss Did I not love you quite like this In another room In another room where I'm obliged to wait 'Til I become the man you barely tolerate And the blood red pub And it makes me drunk at the temple door Did I not love you anymore In another room In another room now I feel vacant I can't get used to it just yet In another room you're crying and shaking Cursing the very day we met In another room where we were before Now you take your boy and you close the door In another room he's kissing you so hard The glass that's in his hand it shatters into shards Splinters in his palm And the blood will run down in his cuff Did I not love you quite enough In another room just out of my sight In another room, goodbye Good night.
