Grounds for Resentment

[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]

At the table we're polite

I make a joke but it falls flat

Silence falls where laughter daily used to flow

Your job is fine, your friends are cool

You will make me work for you

Bitter medicine is exactly what I need

For I know, I left you bruised

But when I catch your old perfume

It takes me back to nights of passion in your room

You've made an effort with your hair

It's not for me, I do not dare

To think that I'm the one you dress for anymore

[Chorus: Kele Okereke]

Slow down

You don't care to remember

Slow down

You mean to pay me dust?

When I caught your eye

I could tell the flame was

Far from gone

Am I wrong?

(Yeah)

[Verse 2: Olly Alexander]

And you called me up this morning

Well, your voice is like a knife

I must like the way it hurts me every time

Please forgive me if it seems

Like I'm trying to conceal

What is happening to us or how I feel

I think I'm angry and I'm sad

I kept your T-shirt and your cap

All this evidence is surely looking bad

Well do you think about me still?

Are you happy and fulfilled?

Will I always have a cut that doesn't heal?

[Chorus: Kele Okereke]

Slow down

You don't care to remember

Slow down

You mean to pay me dust?

When I caught your eye

I could tell the flame was

Far from gone

Am I wrong?
