Rocket man my morning jacket

🖤✨ Practiced On Me (Rework)
by The Miracle Syndicate

She said I looked tired, but smiled when I spoke
The kind of smile you offer a patient.
My coffee was cold before I noticed
That her chair had never been taken.

I tried to remember what we talked about
But my mouth held no shape.
I wiped her lipstick off my glass,
But it was never there in the first place.

I wrote down half of a name
In the steam on the window,
But it bled down the glass
Like it didn’t want to be known.

Yeah.

She may have loved me 
Or just practiced on me 
In case it ever counted.
Ooh...
She may have loved me 
Or just practiced on me 
This is all I've amounted.

The restaurant closed and I kept sitting,
Listening for footsteps that never walked away.
A waiter asked if I was alright,
And I said I was just waiting for a mistake.

He smiled like I was joking,
The way you smile at someone you pity.
I left a tip for the absence,
Then walked home through a city
That didn’t blink when I crossed the street.

I cut and ran through the forest
Where I could still smell her perfume.
Then I couldn't help but notice
I was alone in my dark room.

Again.

She may have loved me 
Or just practiced on me 
In case it ever counted.
Ooh...
She may have loved me 
Or just practiced on me
This is all I've amounted.

In the end, I forgot her face
But not the silence she taught me to hear.
And sometimes, when I pass the place 
I swear, I see her disappear.
