Il Tagliacarte

I put on the shoes that will take me away
even though I never wanted to leave this place
I put on the coat that will shield me from the cold
even though I would have preferred your warmth again

I leave you just a letter opener
to remind you of my love love love love for you

I say goodbye to the guy who was with you tonight
I don’t want him to think I’m mad at him
him or someone else, in the end, what does it matter

I leave you just a letter opener
to remind you of my love love love love for you

Then I make the rounds of my few friends
I tell them I won’t be back anymore
they ask me if you wanted it this way

I leave you just the letter opener with written on it
"yours forever ever ever ever yours"

I already have the shoes that will take me away
I already have the coat that will shield me from the cold
I’ve put a photo of you in my pocket
