lyrics

The coffee at the bottom of my cup is cold and bitter
But I choke it down and hope the hurt gets swallowed on the way.

I keep the cut pressed to my lips even though it's empty
And hold it very still until the trembling goes away

But I don't know why I try to hide these feelings
And I don't know why I try to hide this pain.
'Cause even though you're right across the table from me, darling
I could wail and I could shout
I could let myself cry out
You'd go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain
You'd go on drinking coffee and never ask me to explain

I often think of packing up a bag and walking out
And never turning back to see if you put up a fight

But our baby boys, they have your eyes and how could Mama tell them,
"Your daddy never treat me wrong but he never treat me right."

So I go on tryin' to hide all these feelings
And I go on tryin' to hide all this pain.
But even though you're right across the table from me, darling
I could wail and I could shout
I could let myself cry out
You'd go drinking coffee and never ask me to explain
