[Verse 1] He wore his grin like a ring And laid it on my hand Said, "Honey, I'm your man" In that sweet old way he can I kept the table by the stage I kept the dress he liked He kissed me under red curtains Then he slipped out with the night [Pre-Chorus] Now the room spins slow And the piano knows Every word he stole Every place he goes [Chorus] He done me wrong He done me wrong Left me here to sing Where I don't belong He done me wrong So I hold on To the taste of him And the ache lives on [Verse 2] Last Tuesday in the balcony I saw him with her coat Same laugh, same easy hands Same lie in his throat I should have dropped my glass I should have let it shatter But I just watched him smile Like I never had mattered [Pre-Chorus] Now the room spins slow And the piano knows Every word he stole Every place he goes [Chorus] He done me wrong He done me wrong Left me here to sing Where I don't belong He done me wrong So I hold on To the taste of him And the ache lives on [Bridge] Play it softer, piano Let the curtain fall If he comes back asking I won't hear him at all No, I won't run to him No, I won't pretend He had my heart, my good shoes He won't have me again [Chorus] He done me wrong He done me wrong Left me here to sing Where I don't belong He done me wrong So I hold on To the taste of him And the ache lives on [Outro] Put that rose on the table Leave the house lights low If he ever loved me He forgot to show
