"We Were Lovers" lyrics - BLOC PARTY

We meet inside the cafe
The air is thick like hospital
Choked by the gold on your finger
We were lovers

Bury the thoughts that resurface
Those hands were mine

[Chorus:]
And now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting
Here like strangers
You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you
It was really you

Staring into my coffee
It is not black, just a shade of brown
Too scared to let our eyes meet
What will we see?

[Chorus:]
And now our love has been forgotten
Like it was never there
We're just sitting
Here like strangers
You gave me yourself for just a little while
But it was you
It was really you

[Outro:]
The space between us
Will not be beat
Oceans and past lives
We were lovers
