Alone with the TV

She could've waited till I got home

Now, she's on the train while I'm on my own

First thing this morning, you iron my shirt for me

At lunch break, we were vibing on the phone

This evening, I brought back DVDs

Alone with the TV

First thing this morning, your head was on my chest

I had to be up early, so I left you in the bed

You looked so enticing curled under the duvet

But I couldn't jump back in 'cause I didn't wanna be late

You laid there so calmly as I quickly got dressed

And my Armani, Cardin shirt you had neatly pressed

I wanted to say, bye, but I didn't wanna wake you up

So, I thought I'd give you a call on my lunch break or something

At lunch break, I rung you on the house phone but you never answered

So I hung up and rung back on the voda

We were chatting so kosher, but then you started to moan, love

'Bout how I never give you no time and I'm out on the roads enough

I couldn't take with a long talk, so I told you, please ease off

I had to push the red button with my thumb 'cause I was so p'd off

This evening, I brought back some Chinese to munch

And I even went and got some DVDs to watch

First thing this morning, you iron my shirt for me

At lunch break, we were vibing on the phone

This evening, I brought back DVDs

But I'm alone with the TV

My head in my hands, staring right at my hair brush

On the table beside my cup of tea and toast, still untouched

My fist on the table, eyes fixed to the carpet

Telephone going off but I can't be assed to even go and answer it

My head in my hands, 'cause I opened up the front door

To see if there was any posted for me on the floor of the porch

My fist on the table, 'cause the letter I just read

In black had just said, you had left with my best friend

My eyes to the ceiling 'cause I thought it was all a joke

Until I opened up your wardrobe, no hangars, no clothes

My head in my hands 'cause the photo I'm holding

Is a photo of you and your fucking smile

First thing this morning, you iron my shirt for me

At lunch break, we were vibing on the phone

This evening, I brought back DVDs

But I'm alone with the TV

This evening, I have brought back Love Actually

'Cause I thought what we had was actually love

But I can't see your Gucci scarf or your Zara gloves

There ain't no Mac lip gloss or eyeliner and stuff

On the bathroom sink, there's only one toothbrush

There's only one face wash, there's only one sponge

On the table by the stove, there's a note and a biro

I'm tryna trace you on the Voda just to ask you, why though?

At lunch break I should've listened to your whining on the phone

And not been so impatient or tired of your moaning

I should've told you, we'll sort it when I get in at six

And settle our differences by talking it out and shit

First thing this morning, I should've rubbed off Simone

Pull Lot and Josephine's numbers off my phone

If I'd done that this morning, you'd be here at home

If I'd done that this morning, I wouldn't be alone

First thing this morning, you iron my shirt for me

At lunch break, we were vibing on the phone

This evening, I brought back DVDs

But I'm alone with the TV

First thing this morning, you iron my shirt for me

At lunch break, we were vibing on the phone

This evening, I brought back DVDs

But I'm alone with the TV

She could've waited till I got home

Now, she's on the train while I'm on my own
