Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Lyrics by Clare Follett

2018

[Verse 1]
You sit with her in the corner of the coffee shop
And there’s no reason for me to think about us at all
But I still can’t shake this nine hundred ninety-nine days on
I’m still broken, handing you a fistful of forget-me-nots
You tell me they’re pretty, you thank me and I move along
All I can do now is hope you’ll look after them when I’m not around
But now you sit with her and you seem so content
So I am happy for you, now, please pardon my interest
[Chorus]
But what does she do for you that I didn’t? How does she love you different than I did?
How come I still don’t know nine hundred ninety-nine days on?
[Verse 2]
So now I sit here in the other corner of the coffee shop
And I feel so cheated even though I know that you were never in love
Why can’t I shake this nine hundred ninety-nine days on?
And while I wish I was her, I know you’re better off now
So I am happy for you, and excuse me if I lash out
[Chorus]
But what does she do for you that I didn’t? How does she love you different than I did?
How come I still don’t know nine hundred ninety-nine days on?
[Refrain]
Nine hundred ninety-nine days on
Nine hundred ninety-nine days on
Nine hundred ninety-nine days on
Nine hundred ninety-nine days on
[Outro]
Did you ever feel the way that I did?
Do you know you’re burned beneath my eyelids?
How did you feel when we were at the end?
Are you happy now with your new girlfriend?
Did you ever defeat your demons?
Why did you leave? I never got a reason
I guess I still won’t know one thousand days on
