"Basement" lyrics

"Basement"

It was good till it wasn't
It was easy, but it wasn't
Let's be honest
About this
Didn't see it from the back seat
In the car ride when you called me
And told me
She was nobody

While you were in her bed
Kept that to yourself
Late nights, early mornings
Under someone else
I'm just an optimist

Who'd have thought it?
You were hiding friendly fires
In the basement
Kept that hidden
But let's face it
Did you really think that
I would never find it?
How ironic

I hate you, it's over
But I hate that I'm not over
All the times we spent in your apartment
They're all gone and tainted in my head

Kept that to yourself
Late nights, early mornings
Under someone else
I'm just an optimist

Who'd have thought it?
You were hiding friendly fires
In the basement
Kept that hidden
But let's face it
Did you really think that
I would never find it?
How ironic

Caught between the fires
Burning under the city lights
The place we met on the park slide
Set it all alight
Two years too late to let me know
Four years too deep to let it go
Now I'm all alone again
I hate it

Who'd have thought it?
You were hiding friendly fires
In the basement
Kept that hidden
But let's face it
Did you really think that
I would never find it?
How ironic
