Little coffee shop

Burning House EP, 2017

Written by Graci Phillips

 I stole your recipe

The one that you served to me

At first it was bitter, but I've grown accustomed to the taste

I've made it all my own

Dish it out to everyone I know

So thanks for sharing it with me

Loose leaf resentment served up by the cup

I make it all myself in my little coffee shop

You wanna pour over, talk it out

But I know you'll only steam up

You want one shot to work it out

But I know we don't agree now

And I'm looking at an empty cup

But I can't be the one who fills you up

You taught me a thing or two

About this toxic brew

So pull up a chair, cause it's too good not to share

I'm just giving back what I got

So sorry my words are hot

They'll burn you up nice, and then leave you cold as ice

My little coffee shop don't get the business that it should

Everyone's complaining that my atmosphere's no good

You wanna pour over, talk it out

But I know you'll only steam up

You want one shot to work it out

But I know we don't agree now

And I'm looking at an empty cup

But I can't be the one who fills you up

Well I've been sipping on this poison 

And watching time go by

Oh, I've been sipping on this poison

And hoping you would die

I locked myself inside the cage that I made for you

I thought by punishing myself I'd be punishing you too

Now I wanna pour over, talk it out

But I know I'll only steam up

I want one shot to work it out

Even though we don't agree

You say you're looking at an empty cup

But you can't be the one who fills me up 

You can’t be the one
