Stay Polite [NDC]

I try to laugh it off too fast, I blame the heat, I blame the drain. It starts in the shower, always there, water loud, my throat too tight. I press my palm against the tile and count to two, then lose the count. [Pre-Chorus] I used to map my little life in pencil marks and tidy lines. Then you tucked my hair behind my ear, and something changed in me. [Chorus] I think I’m in love with you, and you won’t love me back. I think I’m in love with you, and that’s the simple fact. So love and I just learned to hurt, then smile, and stay polite. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] We had that song, the one we swore we’d never play for anyone. Two voices in a cheap old car, two shadows on the dashboard sun. We grew up telling everything, no locked doors, no careful truths, but suddenly I had a secret I couldn’t say to you. [Pre-Chorus] I learned your love in smaller ways, and none of it was mine. It followed me through crowded rooms, stayed on my tongue, sweet-bitter wine. [Chorus] I think I’m in love with you, and you won’t love me back. I think I’m in love with you, and that’s the simple fact. So love and I just learned to hurt, then smile, and stay polite. [Bridge] You didn’t move. I watched my hands. The room went still as Sunday light. I said it, and the air stayed kind, and that was all your quiet reply. [Final Chorus] I think I’m in love with you, and you won’t love me back. I think I’m in love with you, and that’s the simple fact. So love and I just learned to hurt, then smile, and stay polite.
