Black Coffee In Bed
The Squeeze Lyrics

There's a stain on my notebook
The singer is metaphorically comparing a physical stain on their notebook to the emotional stain of a failed relationship.

Where your coffee cup was
The empty space where their partner's coffee cup once sat represents the absence of their ex-lover in their life.

And there's ash in the pages
The presence of ash suggests a sense of destruction or damage, further emphasizing the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing.

Now I've got myself lost
The artist is lost and unsure of their feelings after the breakup.

I was writing to tell you
The artist attempted to express their feelings to their ex through writing.

That my feelings tonight
The singer's emotions in the present moment are what they were attempting to express in their letter.

Are a stain on my notebook
Once again, the singer is emphasizing the idea that their emotions are leaving behind a mark that cannot be erased or forgotten.

That rings your goodbye
The goodbye from their ex is still resonating in the artist's mind.

With the way that you left me
The ex-partner left in a way that was painful or traumatic for the artist.

I can hardly contain
The artist is struggling to control their emotions in the aftermath of their breakup.

The hurt and the anger
The two strong emotions that the singer is experiencing after the end of their relationship.

And the joy of the pain
The artist finds a strange sense of pleasure in their suffering, possibly because it reinforces their idea of being consumed by love.

Now knowing I am single
The realization of their new status brings about a change in their attitude and behavior.

They'll be fire in my eyes
The singer is eager to move on and find new passion.

And a stain on my notebook
Once again, the notebook serves as a symbol of the singer's emotional journey.

For a new love tonight
The artist is open to the possibility of finding new love, even though the scars of the previous relationship remain.

From the lips without passion
The artist has moved on from their previous partner's lack of emotional investment.

To the lips with a kiss
The singer has found someone new who is passionate and affectionate towards them.

There's nothing of your love
The singer has put the past behind them and no longer holds onto the memories of their ex-partner.

That I'll ever miss
The artist has fully moved on and is content leaving their past relationship in the past.

The stain on my notebook
The notebook still holds the memories of the past relationship, even as the artist moves on.

Remain all that's left
The emotional impact of the past relationship is the only thing that remains in the present.

Of the memory of late nights
The notebook brings back memories of intimate nights spent together with their ex-partner.

And coffee in bed
Coffee in bed serves as a symbol of intimacy and connection, which is lost with the end of the relationship.

Now she's gone
The singer's ex-partner is no longer present in their life.

And I'm back on the beat
The singer has resumed their normal life and routine.

Says nothing to me
The notebook no longer holds the emotional weight it once did for the singer.

And I'm out with a friend
The artist has moved on and is moving forward with their life.

With lips full of passion
The artist has found new love and is content in this new relationship.

And coffee in bed
Coffee in bed serves as a symbol of intimacy and connection in the new relationship.
