amelia day – centerpiece lyrics

[verse 1]
over every dress, every stitch sewn
gold+chain necklace traces my collarbone
piece of our old home
under every denim b+tton+up
you wear the leather watch you got from your cousin
mine collects dust on the shelf as it’s rustin’

[pre+chorus]
afterthought
after dinner, it’s too hot
so you rest your head in your own bed
[chorus]
but i made you my centerpiece
you tipped the glass, the water crashed, it all camе down
i left the flowers on thе carpet where they were found
i watched ’em wither, dusty rose against the faded ground
you just threw ’em out
centerpiece
you took the portrait that i put up over our old couch
faced it against the wall and said the room was better now
i never said a word right then, but when you’re not around
i still take it out

[verse 2]
during every dinner meal i make
you stay silent ‘cept when you say your grace
bow your head and pray
after every supper, clear your plate
you back the chevy, you’re already down the driveway
while i wipe the dining table dry of every winestain

[pre+chorus]
afterthought
august 7th, you forgot
so i rest my head in my own bed

[chorus]
but i made you my centerpiece
you tipped the glass, the water splashed, it all came down
i left the flowers on the carpet where they were found
i watched ’em wither, dusty rose against the faded ground
you just threw ’em out
centerpiece
you took the portrait that i put up over our old couch
faced it against the wall and said the room was better now
i never said a word right then, but when you’re not around
i still take it out
[bridge]
close the door
what’s it all for?
count the cracks in the ceiling
’til there’s no more feeling
close my eyes ’til we do it once more
can’t restore
what you adored
and the time keeps slipping
as the clock keeps ticking
close my eyes ’til we do it once more
we do it once more
we do it once more
we did it once before

[chorus]
i made you my centerpiece
i filled the glass, the water splashed, but all was sound
i picked the flowers from the garden where they were found
i watched ’em flourish, brilliant rose against the soil ground
you just threw ’em out
centerpiece
i drew the portrait that i put up over our old couch
put it upon the wall and said the room was better now
you never said a word right then, but when i’m not around
you still take it down
