Etc Songwords :: Ex's Cassettes

We caught you listening to cassettes made by an ex
And sneaking crafty cigarettes
Guess you’ve not quite given up yet
Despite what you said

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
When you’re listening to Ex’s Cassettes

And now we see you’ve kept their old phone messages
And -oh- those old love letters: read & re-read
Held as evidence
Hold them to your chest

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
When you’re listening to Ex’s Cassettes

Songs about love and songs about sex and songs about dancing and being stupid; breaking up; lists of regrets... and this one you got from one of your ex’s cassettes (just like Etc said…)
