Guilty from MARYANN by MARYANN

LYRICS

You said we needed time apart, we were too considerate of each other
Well it didn’t take you two minutes to become one self-absorbed motherfucker
You want to bring her on the group night out, and I never got the chance to tell you “no”
And then you lock lips in front of me like it’s no big deal
Our friends are outraged at you, but you couldn’t ever admit that you feel

Guilty, she’s in your coat in the taxi home
Guilty, how can you be happy when I’m alone?
I was there for so many months, trying to be quiet as I moved on
But you have ripped the plaster off, and now I don’t feel guilty anymore
Anymore
Now I don’t feel guilty anymore

I’m crying in the club, because I saw you kiss her
It’s got me chain-smoking cigarettes, oh they burn
I know it’s been six months and I was doing better without you
But with your hands around her waist I’m right back where I was before
I know you knew
And you don’t feel

Guilty, she’s in your coat in the taxi home
Guilty, how can you be happy when I’m alone?
You think you’re innocent, I guess that’s fine
I thought maybe this would heal in time
But you have ripped the plaster off, and now I don’t feel guilty anymore
Anymore
Now I don’t feel guilty anymore

I’ll never understand how matching mugs became screaming matches
Broken porcelain, from when you smashed me into pieces
I guess it’s nice to know you don’t feel

Guilty, she’s in your bed, the only bed I’d known
Guilty, how can you be happy when I’m alone?
I was there, all damn night, ignoring my gut, trying to be polite
But you have ripped the plaster off, and now I don’t feel guilty anymore
Anymore
Now I don’t feel guilty anymore
