You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
I stared out of the window and watched the trees speed past me
I was so confident, but somehow I still had mentally prepared myself for the terrible moment not even 3 hours ago
Maybe that's why it was so easy for me to turn around and walk away, never looking back
Bustling crowds or Silent Sleepers
You're not sure which is worse
I couldn't decide where to go after I walked away
I sat at the train station for at least 90 minutes before deciding on the train that we would go through the night
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers?
Bustling crowds of people, with a purpose
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
I screwed up
Or you did
At that party I was sure everything was perfect and you would not even hesitate before saying yes
I was sure with all the distance and the heartache we had, had in the past had led us to this moment
I was wrong because instead you left me to wonder what I had done wrong
Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass I dropped it
Champagne problems
I was barely able to walk away from you without turning around and begging you to take me back
But I didn't
As I shoved my hands in my pocket and told you goodbye I felt like my heart was breaking into thousands of pieces
Like glass
You told your family for a reason
You couldn't keep it in
You're sister splashed out on the bottle
Now no ones celebrating
I remember telling Honor
She was the only family member I've ever really had
The only one who genuinely cared for me
Plus she loved you
She promised that when you said yes we would all go celebrate
I guess that won't ever happen now
Dom Perignon, you brought it
No crowd of friends applauded
Your hometown skeptics called it
Champagne problems
All of Hartford is probably talking about us
Everyone knew something was wrong the moment we went outside
The hesitation
Now everyone will remember the time the Gilmore girl didn't say yes
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
Champagne problems.
Why?
Was it the publicity?
The speech in front of everyone?
Or did I just screw up with the ultimatum
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke "well, it's made for me" how
Evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
I think back to our apartment
How easy it was for you to move in, no matter how big of a step it was
How is this any different?
Is it because I didn't throw in any ginsu knives?
I smile
Maybe I've just always been ahead of the curve with us
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
Till someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's fucked in the head", they said
Maybe I shouldn't have pushed so hard
Maybe I shouldn't have walked away
Maybe I should have gotten down on one knee
Maybe you simply didn't love me
Maybe I will never know what really went through your head
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
Her picture in your wallet
And you won't remember all my
Champagne problems
I do know that I will never fully move on
I can never give anyone else that ring so willingly
And I will never forget the way my heart stopped when you said no
You won't remember all my
Champagne problems
I will never forget you
