Beth Scalet
Uneasy Truce
Lyrics
It seems you barely can remember
Things that are etched upon my mind
It seems that now I hardly know you
It seems you've left your heart behind

You can't remember why you loved me
I can't remember why you stopped
I can't imagine us together
When in that moment our lives crossed

Why are we sitting here together
What made us think it would be wise
To talk as if it were a pleasure
To revisit love's demise

And you wrap up in self-protection
Though I would never do you harm
As if the act of introspection
Would leave you threatened and disarmed

And so we sip a glass of brandy
Ignoring memories of youth
We banter emptily of nothing
As we share our uneasy truce

As we share our uneasy truce
