Morning after she was in his car
She was looking in his eyes when she laughed haha
His voice was shaky and the conversation paused
He checked his rearview mirror it was safe
Buying flowers was a waste of time
She just put them down and said they were nice
She was unresponsive he was indecisive

It’s a big apartment
It’s a smaller home
Your rent’s enormous but your roommate’s gone
Back at home she was polite but frank
When her father asked where she’d been last night
she said boys get different with every time
He said sweetie that’s a grown-up thing to say
Her Thornhill bedroom with its curtains open
Her father broke down when he caught her smoking
From then and always he would buy her nicotine
He said that was how your poor aunt passed away
Now she wished that she had asked him more
Just like adults say: you want what you can’t have
Back in Donald’s car, she rolled the window down
and in his awkward way, he reminded her of her dad
And she wished she’d slept with other boys
When they were wed she knew she’d made a choice
And in their bed, he slept just like a boy
She kissed his neck and thought about divorce
She made plans with neighbours and laid them on their fridge
She bought cans of fruit and packed them for their one and only kid
In the bathroom Donald spilled his heart and
said he wanted time apart and
She got lonely thinking about their bed
And that night she took the garbage out
She got drunk off wine and whiskey sours
She shook Donald awake and said their mistake
was the single reason that she had stayed faithful
The same good reason that had kept her grateful
Tired and angry he whispered most hateful
You were my last choice the night that we met
The girls that I wanted would never have slept with me
I kept on waiting for someone to come
but you were just easy and I was alone
So she washed her hands and sat alone on the bathroom tile
She closed her eyes and his anger stopped
She thinks that’s the worst part
