Breakfast Table featuring (Laura Cantrell)

I wondered for a long time
how you got so mad
you wondered for a long time
how I got to feel so bad
and it’s a wonder how we made it through the night

I kept worrying
that the race was run
you kept worrying
that we didn’t have any fun
and every chance that I had
I didn’t ask

don’t know where you were that night
don’t know what it was that caused the fight
didn’t know if you could hear me
sat so many times
at the breakfast table
and never asked

I had the perfect question
for when the time was right
I could never make you happy
stuck inside your head every night
and in the morning I could hardly catch your eye

could have taken just a moment
maybe shed some light
bring me in a little closer
I guess it wasn’t worth your time
honey, I was never one to read your mind

and I don’t know where you were last night
don’t know what it was that caused the fight
I didn’t know if you could hear me
and I sat so many times
at the breakfast table
and never asked

you poured your coffee black
then you turned your back
and said pass the paper, please
you tuned in the radio
just to make the mornings go
while I kept trying to believe
every chance I had I never asked

tell me where you were that night
tell me what it was that caused the fight
tell me could you even hear me
I sat so many times
at the breakfast table
and never asked
and never asked
