We Were Lovers Lyrics

We meet inside the café
The air is thick like hospital
Choked by the gold on your finger
We were loversBury the thoughts that resurface
Those hands were mineAnd now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting here like strangers
You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you, it was really youStaring into my coffee
It is not black just a shade of brown
Too scared to let our eyes meet
What will we see?And now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting here like strangers
You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you, it was really youAnd now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting here like strangers

You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you, it was really youThe space between us
Will not be beat
Oceans and past lives
We were lovers
