We Were Lovers Lyrics - Bloc Party

We meet inside the café 

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 

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? 

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 

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 

The space between us 

Will not be beat 

Oceans and past lives 

We were lovers
