Bloc Party
We Were Lovers
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
We meet inside the café
The air is thick like hospital
Choked by the gold on your finger
We were lovers

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Bury the thoughts that resurface
Those hands were mine

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Staring into my coffee
It is not black, just a shade of brown
Too scared to let our eyes meet
What will we see?
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

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