frank turner-a decent cup of tea

hadnt been a day when everything had turned out right
she called me up and asked me to come over in the night
to make her cups of tea
and listen quietly as she starts
to list the latest list of bastards
who had trampled on her heart
i see her in the nightclubs
i meet her in the bars
at rooftop after-parties
or cramped into friend's cars
and we talk about the weather
and how she drowns her pain in drink
and i nod and never ever
dare to tell her what i think
she summers by my seas
she winters without me
she cries into her tea
that she's secretly lonely
oh me
what am i to do
it's obvious to me
she never seems to see
that it's not about the days
when everything has turned out right
yeah it's more about the moments
when she calls me in the night
to make her cups of tea
and wash the weary worries from her head
and then to draw the pain out slowly
as i put her into bed

and i slip this information
into all our conversations
but she never seems to listen
and she never seems to see
