Our Love Turned Into Hate

Verse 1

Your blue cup’s cracked beside the sink

The one you threw that night in May

I kept the pieces in a drawer

As if the fault could be put away

You learned my silences by heart

Then used each one to draw a map

Straight to the tenderest part of me

And pressed until the whole thing snapped

Chorus

We went from your hand in mine

To keeping score of every scar

From saying, “You’re the only one”

To wishing you would stay afar

Now every good thing we once knew

Comes back with teeth, comes back as pain

We loved each other till we didn’t

And neither of us leaves the same

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs behind the door

The sleeve you burned against the stove

I hear your key turn in my sleep

Though you’ve been gone a week or so

You called me cruel; I called you cold

We made a courtroom of the hall

Two witnesses who knew the truth

And still denied it all

Chorus

We went from your hand in mine

To keeping score of every scar

From saying, “You’re the only one”

To wishing you would stay afar

Now every good thing we once knew

Comes back with teeth, comes back as pain

We loved each other till we didn’t

And neither of us leaves the same

Bridge

Take the records, take the photographs

Take the name I wore for you

Leave the dent beside the bedroom wall

And the rent we’re splitting through

I won’t ask who gets the dog

You can have the books we bought

There’s nothing left to divide here

But the things we should have stopped

Guitar virtuoso

Final Chorus

We went from your hand in mine

To turning every word to stone

From building somewhere we could live

To fighting over who goes home

Now every good thing we once knew

Comes back with teeth, comes back as pain

We loved each other till we didn’t

And neither of us leaves the same

Outro

Your blue cup’s cracked beside the sink

I put the pieces in the bin
