If I'd said I wished I'd never met you (I'd be lying)

I said "sing me a song that reminds you of me" 
He sang of his ex girlfriend. 

And once the story 
Had cleared the air 
And guitar riffs drifted away
I stood there with an
Expressionless face 
And he asked if I was okay

He's hazy from downing 
A whole bottle of wine 
Intended for sharing 
At last dinner time 

But we didn't sit 
At a table for two
Instead we were standing 
On either side of the room 

This it seems
Is a tango for one 
Plus his Depression
And his wine-drunk love 

And the distance between us
Never felt so far 
As when he serenaded me
With his ex-lover's guitar
