Read It In The Paper Lyrics by Kathryn Gallagher

2022

[Verse 1]
Oh well I heard you settled down
There's gonna be a Mrs. Bennett now
Moved down south, sold the LA house
Only July ghosts haunt it now
Oh and I heard it was her birthday
You got her a triple-layer cake
It's good you learned how to love your lover
Shame I was a battleground for your mistakes
[Chorus]
Oh I read it in the paper
You knew it the first time you saw her
Darlin', do you see our ashes scattered 'round the altar
Your honor
You found your forever
While I still called you mine
How was I supposed to know
I was just wasted time?
Oh I read it in the paper
[Verse 2]
Oh and I knew that it was over
When you started sleeping with your phone face down
But it still lit up our room like a spotlight
Glowing as it burned our whole house down
Oh and I knew it in December
New Year's Eve
You gave me your cheek
Even when the sun, it came down early
You came home later every week
[Chorus]
Oh I read it in the paper
You knew it the first time you saw her
Darlin' do you see our ashes scattered 'round the alter
With your honor
You found your forever
While I still called you mine
How was I supposed to know
I was just wasted time?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh I read it in the paper
Read it in black and white
Read it in the paper
I was wasted time
[Bridge]
Trigger-happy anger
Used me as your practice round
You're steady on your target
Now you want to make it count
I hope you're happy now
[Chorus]
Read it in the paper
You knew it the first time you saw her
Darlin' do you see our ashes scattered 'round the altar
You're on her
You found your forever
While I still called you mine
How was I supposed to know
I was just wasted time?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh I read it in the paper
Read it in black and white (trigger-happy anger, used me as your practice round)
Read it in the paper
I was wasted time (steady on your target, now you want to make it count)
Read it in the paper (trigger-happy anger, used me as your practice round)
Red like this bottle of wine
Read it in the paper
I was wasted time (steady on your target, now you want to make it count)
Read it in the paper
You wasted my time
