The Staves - The Important One Lyrics

The Staves Lyrics

"The Important One"

Shrunk my clothes, broke my cup
You fell asleep and I stayed up
Scratched yourself and snored at night
Made me watch forensic files when my mother died

You made it clear it didn't bother you
If I came and went from any room
Not so much a future wife
An accessory to your single life

Shouldn't have to change for anyone
Leave it up to us to orbit your sun
Don't you worry, hun
There's work to be done
You're the important one
