Текст песни Passenger - Table For One

So I sit on this table for one
 And pour me a drink that’ll last
 I’m not drunk I just miss being young
 And I grew old too fast

My wife she breaks and she bends
 My children they don’t understand
 I came here tonight in search of a friend
 But I’m the invisible man

‘Cause I’ve swallowed my tongue
 And I’ve polished my gun
 And I’ve sat on my secrets for years
 With my stiff upper lip
 My composure won’t slip
 And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear

I sit on this table for one
 And I have been here before
 It’s a little less than I’d had in mind
 But I wouldn’t ask for more

And my mother she taught me to write
 And my father he taught me his trade
 And I wish that they could both be here tonight
 To see what a mess I’ve made

‘Cause I’ve swallowed my tongue
 And I’ve polished my gun
 And I’ve sat on my secrets for years
 With my stiff upper lip
 My composure won’t slip
 And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear

My sons and my daughters don’t know me at all
 I’ve dug in trenches and put up walls
 I whisper I love you each night as they sleep
 But no one hears me when I speak
 On this table for one

So I sit on this table for one
 I won’t go till they tell me to leave
 Why’d they teach me to follow my dreams
 When dreams are all they can be?
