It's Not Fair, Sera

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You took the last train west With my jacket on your chair I found your grocery list And your handwriting everywhere The kettle clicked at five Though neither of us stayed Funny how an empty room Still knows the shape you made [Pre-Chorus] I can name the things I broke I can name the words I said But the ending wears your coat And leaves me with the debt [Chorus] But it's not fair, sera You get the summer, I get rain You keep the easy version I keep explaining all the pain If love was meant to teach us Then this lesson isn't clear But it's not fair, sera To lose you and still hold you here [Verse 2] Your mother called on Sunday Asked if I was sleeping well I lied beside the window While the traffic filled the spell There are two cups in the cupboard One is chipped along the rim I reach for it without a thought Then remember it was him [Pre-Chorus] I can carry what I caused I can live with what I know But you turned the final page Before I got to go [Chorus] But it's not fair, sera You get the summer, I get rain You keep the easy version I keep explaining all the pain If love was meant to teach us Then this lesson isn't clear But it's not fair, sera To lose you and still hold you here [Bridge] Maybe someday in a bookstore I'll hear someone say your name I'll smile like I have moved on And then walk home the longer way No, I won't ask the world to fix it No, I won't pretend you're wrong I just wish the heart had warnings Before it learns a disappearing song [Final Chorus] But it's not fair, sera You get the summer, I get rain You keep the easy version I keep explaining all the pain If love was meant to teach us Then this lesson isn't clear But it's not fair, sera To lose you and still hold you here [Outro] It's not fair, sera But I will let you disappear
