Victoria's Window

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coat on my chair Like you’d be back by dawn Victoria, I should’ve known When your phone kept lighting up Your laugh turned thin and small Your eyes kept drifting away I held the door for your lies Like they were gonna stay [Pre-Chorus] And I saw the truth In the corner of your mouth I saw the truth When you couldn’t look down [Chorus] Victoria, why’d you do me like that? (why’d you do me like that?) You took my heart and didn’t give it back (didn’t give it back) Victoria, I still hear your name Like a blade in the rain Victoria, why’d you do me like that? [Verse 2] I found two cups in the sink One had lipstick on the rim And a message half-sent out From somebody I didn’t know then You said it wasn’t what it seemed You said I’d twist it all wrong But guilt was standing in the room And it stayed there all night long [Pre-Chorus] And I saw the truth In the pause before you spoke I saw the truth When the silence broke [Chorus] Victoria, why’d you do me like that? (why’d you do me like that?) You took my heart and didn’t give it back (didn’t give it back) Victoria, I still hear your name Like a blade in the rain Victoria, why’d you do me like that? [Bridge] I don’t hate you I just hate what we became I still see your shadow When I hear that name If you loved me Why’d it feel so cold? Victoria, tell me Was I ever whole? [Final Chorus] Victoria, why’d you do me like that? (why’d you do me like that?) You took my heart and didn’t give it back (didn’t give it back) Victoria, I’m letting you go But it hurts too slow Victoria, why’d you do me like that? (why’d you do me like that?)
