Verse 1: Wore this dress to my mother's funeral Wore it to my sister's wedding three months later There's red wine on the hem from New Year's two years back Coffee stain on the sleeve from this morning It's the only one that still fits Verse 2: My friend said I should buy something new I said why, this one works She said it's got a cigarette burn on the collar I said I know, I was there when it happened I like knowing where the damage comes from Chorus: I know every stain I know every stain Verse 3: Wore it on a first date, he said I looked tired Wore it on the last date, he didn't say anything It's got his cologne somewhere in the fabric still Fades a little more every time I wash it I don't wash it that often Verse 4: Got a job interview next week They sent me the dress code, business casual I'll wear this, they'll see it's wrinkled They won't hire me, I won't be surprised Wasn't gonna take it anyway Chorus: I know every stain I know every stain Verse 5: My sister offered me money for a new wardrobe I said no thanks, she said it's from Dad's estate I said I got my half already, spent it She said on what, I changed the subject Rent, cigarettes, nothing that lasted Verse 6: Saw myself in a shop window yesterday Thought I looked like someone who's given up Then I thought no, I look like someone who's decided There's a difference There's a fucking difference Bridge: My mum had a closet full of clothes she never wore Kept them nice for special occasions that never came Died with the tags still on half of them I wear this dress until it falls apart At least I'm living in it At least I'm here Final Chorus: I know every stain I know every stain Every stain
