Lyrics

verse 1
My day feels off, the silence is so loud.
Steam rises from my coffee cup, but you're nowhere to be found.
Sugar won't sweeten what's missing inside.
Love is like coffee--it just has to be right.

Chorus
Tooo meee, there's no good coffee without cream.
To me, this is looking like a bad, bad dream.
No fire in my soul; there's no warmth in my hands.
Your cheating heart spoiled all our plans.

Verse 2
I wake up to my music but the morning feels the same,
Bitterness lingers, like losing the game.
No sugar, no warmth, just echoes of doubt,
Love just ain't love when the flame burns out.

Chorus
Tooo meee, there's no good coffee without cream.  
To me, this is looking like a bad, bad dream.  
No fire in my soul; there's no warmth in my hands.  
Your cheating heart spoiled all our plans. 

Bridge
So I pour one more cup, but it does nothing at all,
Tastes like the silence that echoes and falls.
Our love is a season--bitter and cold,
Where the strong winds whisper, tearing my soul.

[Verse 3]
All warmth we had, now turning cold,
Like coffee forgotten and stories untold.
I sip through the pain, but it leaves a bad taste,
All the time we put in now feels like a waste.

Transition
Nothing left to stir, nothing left to say,
Just an empty cup, and love slipping awaaay.

Chorus
Tooo meee, there's no good coffee without cream.  
To me, this is looking like a bad, bad dream.  
No fire in my soul; there's no warmth in my hands.  
Your cheating heart spoiled all our plans, spoiled all our plans. 

End
