Silly Habits
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm still in love
though I don't care
to let you know
there's something there
it doesn't show
but when you're near
silly habits mean a lot
I've been alone now
for quite some time, it's true
but every night when I come home
I'm coming home to you
I listen for your footsteps
Sometimes I even knock
Silly habits mean a lot
I've been parading
and I've led a lot astray
Why bother waiting?
when you can have it all today
You may remember
I like my coffee hot
Silly habits mean a lot
So you go your way
and I'll go mine
Maybe someday
our paths will re-entwine
I used to say "I love you"
but one day I forgot
Silly habits mean a lot
