Cold Coffee, Cold Heart - ExChillCafe
The steam has vanished from the rim
The light in here is growing dim
I'm staring at your empty chair
And the heavy silence hanging there
I let the seconds turn to hours
Watching the wilting of the flowers
Now it's just cold coffee
And a cold, cold heart
Watching the warp just fall apart
A bitter dreg at the bottom of the cup
Waiting for a sun that won't show up
The sweetness left a long time ago
In this arena lonely shadows show
I remember how the crema used to swirl
Back when you were my entire world
Now the oil sits still upon the top
A slow motion ache that won't ever stop
I take a sip and feel the chill
Against my waning stubborn will
We let the fire go out
We let the fire die
Underneath the gray and hollow sky
No steam to hide the tears I cry
Just a dreamy dark and long goodbye
Cold coffee
The ceramic is frozen to my palm
A deadly kind of morning calm
With what to fill in blue without you
