Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tuesday morning, it's eight fifteen
Your regular order, my routine
I practice smiling in the bathroom mirror
Each time I hear that door chime ring
You talk about your weekend plans
While my heart slips right through my hands
Into your coffee, black with room for cream
Never room for me, it seems

[Chorus]
I pour my heart in every cup
But you just drink it down
I memorize your every word
While your eyes look to the ground
And though I know it's hopeless now
I'll be here same time tomorrow
Serving coffee with a smile
Brewing alone in my sorrow

Brewing alone - in my - sorrow-

[Verse 2]
Today you brought someone along
The way you look at her, it just feels wrong
'Cause that's the look I've dreamed about
When I'm closing up at night alone
She orders tea,
with honey, sweet
While bitter thoughts in my head compete
With all the things I'll never say
As I watch you two just walk away

[Chorus]
I pour my heart in every cup
But you just drink it down
I memorize your every word
While your eyes look to the ground
And though I know it's hopeless now
I'll be here same time tomorrow
Serving coffee with a smile
Brewing alone in my sorrow

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I'll be brave enough
To write my number on your cup
Or maybe I'll just let you go
Like steam rising from below
But for now I'll stand right here
Making art in coffee's foam
For someone else's love story
While I remain all alone.


[Chorus]
I pour my heart in every cup
But you just drink it down
I memorize your every word
While your eyes look to the ground
And though I know it's hopeless now
I'll be here same time tomorrow
Serving coffee with a smile
Brewing alone in my sorrow
serving coffee with a smile-

Brewing alone-
In my sorrow-
