Lyrics Antonio Carlos Jobim - Heatmiser

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Why are you here?
Couldn’t you tell him?
Were you afraid he’d hear?
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further would be bad news
'Cause you’d already started to disappear
And he couldn’t complain
Just looked at your lyric and crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
Said «I like what you wrote
But this is a record full of sour notes»
You should have been thankful to be alone
Said «I like what you wrote»
But don’t say you mean it when you know you don’t
You should have been thankful to be alone
You know
You should’ve been thankful to be alone
You know
You should’ve been thankful to be alone
