soap opera

You left your razor by the sink
Like a clue in a murder show
I left my feelings in the tub
Now they're circling down below

The curtain knows what happened
But the curtain will not say
It only clings dramatically
Then slowly pulls away

And every bar of soap
Has two sides to the story
One is slippery hope
The other's an inventory

It's a soap opera
In a one-bedroom apartment
You cried by the loofah
I performed compartment

It's a soap opera
With commercial breaks for pain
Tune in tomorrow
When we ruin it again

You said I never listen
I said, "What?" right on cue
The mirror did a close-up
On the worst version of you

The toothpaste cap was missing
Like our shared ability
To talk about the real stuff
Without making it silly

It's a soap opera
In a one-bedroom apartment
You cried by the loofah
I performed compartment

It's a soap opera
With commercial breaks for pain
Tune in tomorrow
When we ruin it again

Dun dun dun
The towel drops
Dun dun dun
The screaming stops

Dun dun dun
The cat walks in
Dun dun dun
We start again

It's a soap opera
And the ratings are tragic
You stole all the hot water
I pretended it was magic

It's a soap opera
With no plot to explain
Tune in tomorrow
When we ruin it again

Tune in tomorrow
When we ruin it again
