You Look so Good When You Cry

"Can you make some time this afternoon to talk?" "I'm in town and I'll meet you in the park" "I'm only here until the morning And I'd love to see your face and hear your voice" So I gathered up the nerve and took the dog Put on my boots, lit a smoke, and took a walk And there you were sitting on the corner of the ice rink Wearing that sweater that I loved Did I not tell you enough that I loved ya? And you look so good when you cry Did I not tell you enough? That I'm sorry for all this wasted time We gotta learn to love Learn to leave And learn to lose She said 'there's a couple things I need to know" "Why won't you look me in the eyes? You're being cold" I said "I haven't felt myself since early 2012 And I hate the person I've become" We walked around my neighbourhood for hours Down Primrose Way and past the water towers You did all the talking, I barely said a word Then it all came pouring out Maybe we just need some space and time You go your way I'll go mine You should be around your friends And go through all the pictures To delete them from your mind Did I not tell you enough that I loved you? And you look so good when you cry Did I not tell you enough? That I'm sorry for all this wasted time We gotta learn to love Learn to leave Learn to lose Would it be easier if we just pretend We're two strangers who never met Those two kids who fell in love at nineteen Were other people and not you and me And we never took off each others clothes After you kissed me in the snowbank and you froze And all those Gaslight Anthem songs We sang in the shower before you left We'll agree to unlearn them and never listen to them again Well maybe this is for the best Did I not tell you enough that I loved you? And you look so good when you cry Did I not tell you enough? That I'm sorry for all this wasted time We've learned to love Now we'll learn to leave And learn to lose
