Her Perfume - ArlenaZara
You walk in the door at a quarter to three
You pull off your coat and you reach out for me
I lean in to kiss you, I close my eyes tight
But something is wrong in the middle of the night
It isn't the soap that I bought at the store
It is a scent that I've never smelled here before
I smell her perfume on the edge of your shirt
It sinks in my chest and it constantly hurts
You tell me you love me, you tell me you stayed
But I breathe in the truth of the bed that you made
I am losing my mind in the dark of our room
Because I smell her perfume
You jump in the shower to wash it away
But I already know what you're going to say
You worked late again, you were out with the guys
But I know the guilt and I smell all the lies
It is sweet like a flower, but cuts like a knife
And ruins the rest of my beautiful life
Why do you hold me when she is on your skin?
How do I fight when I know I can't win?
I am washing your clothes, I am washing my tears
And throwing it all away, all our wonderful years
Cause I smell her perfume on the edge of your shirt
It sinks in my chest and it constantly hurts
You tell me you love me, you tell me you stayed
But I breathe in the truth of the bed that you made
I am losing my mind in the dark of our room
Because I smell her perfume
Her perfume
It lingers in the air
It tells me you don't care
And I'm packing my bags to leave
I smell her perfume
