We Were Lovers Songtext
von Bloc Party

We meet inside the café
The air is thick like hospital
Shocked by the gold on your finger
We were lovers

Bury the thoughts that resurface
Those hands were mine

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 you


Staring 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
Really you

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
Really you

The space between us will not be beat
Oceans and past lives
We were lovers
