as far as i know, she wrote this over her divorce, she even cut her hair and dyed it too, it must have been really hard, no matter how gorgeous, talented, unique female you are, no one of us is saved from pain
LYRIC: You tell me you don't love me Over a cup of coffee And I just have to look away A million miles between us Planets crash into dust I just let it fade away I'm walking empty streets Hoping we might meet I see your car parked on the road The light on at your window I know for sure that you're home But I just have to pass on by So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still this obsessed I guess I always knew the score This is how our story ends I smoke your brand of cigarettes And pray that you might give me a call I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls Hanging round bars at night Wishing I had never been born And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home So no, of course we can't be friends Not while I still feel like this I guess I always knew the score This is where our story ends You left behind some clothes My belly somersaults When I pick them off the floor My friends all say they're worried I'm looking far too skinny I've stopped returning all their calls And no of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still so obsessed I want to ask where I went wrong But don't say anything at all It took a cup of coffee To prove that you don't love me
@pentas exactly. it's the most depressing song in the entire world, and at the same time the most beautiful. shirley should go down in history as one of the greatest talents of our time.
I'd never hear it until tonight. I've listened to it like 20 times. It's beautiful, touching, , poignant, and so sad. I get it, Shirley...I GET it ....xoxo
I saw Shirley in this tour at a festival in Atlanta.I loved her look in all white with the black boots and this hair, she just looked so stunningly like porcelain with a real kick🌹the only way you can describe this woman is just unbelievably beautifully unique🌹
"I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet I see your car parked on the road Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home It took a cup of coffee To prove that you don't love me" Wow. So heartbreakingly strong and true.
I forgot about Garbage. I used to like that CD with the song "I'm only happy when it rains". It takes a long time to grow old. I read that once on a quilt in a thrift store in Asheville NC and looking at her in this video I beleive it.
beautiful live!! Shirley Manson,, we see you're a very sensitive person, with deep emotions, all i can say is that maybe you were never wrong but love is a complicated thing and you show us you are a true passionate woman. thank you for being so human and let feel it through your song. A french fan , sorry for my mistakes
So no of course we can't be friends Not while I'm still this obsessed... You just feel the emotion in this song and Shirls sings it so well. We've all been there.
This song kicks so much ass Garbage had to get their boots re-soled so they could continue to kick even more ass! Bravo! Cup of Coffee is one of my ALL TIME FAVS!
She also a great actress. I am watching her play a terminator that is head of a corporation. She plays this straight faced looking boss out to kill John Connor on the reruns of season two of-Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles .Watch it if you can find it.
I really like how on the video we could actually hear the performance. A lot of times the random cheering during always makes me turn away from watching a live show.

The most honest break up song ever written.
Everyone who have ever been dumped can feel every word from Shirley's voice...
That's not stupid , simple song about broken heart.. That's REAL song about broken heart. That is what feel people in this situation.
😂😂😂😂and who is saying the opposite 😅😅
How many current or past artist can sound this good live? Absolutly love her!
Comment still relevant.
I simply love their lyrics.....how can´t someone not feel devastated listening this song?
as far as i know, she wrote this over her divorce, she even cut her hair and dyed it too, it must have been really hard, no matter how gorgeous, talented, unique female you are, no one of us is saved from pain
This piano at the end is so heart-breaking - Shirley you are the goddess... there is no live song so perfect ever....
beautiful performance and interpretation; with such great vocals: shirley's voice is really flawless here
All these years later and this song, this performance, still has the power to leave one absolutely gutted.
Outstanding drum work by Butch Vig. I still can't get enough of this song.
I've seen them live. Shirley Manson is even more amazing live. It's hard to capture how awesome she is with a video camera. Love this song.
Thats amazing sound for a live gig. NO gig ive been to in england has ever had the artist sound that clear. Amaze.
This song always touches my heart. It reminds me the worst emotions which I've ever felt. So much suffering because of one person, what a jeer...
Jellonka Same.. same....
LYRIC:
You tell me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crash into dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets
Hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no, of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night
Wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home
So no, of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
You left behind some clothes
My belly somersaults
When I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
Thank you! I’m partly deaf so I really appreciate when people put down the lyrics ❣️
Gorgeous song, one of my all-time favourites. Great live performance. Thanks!

This gives me chills every single time.
Such a heart aching sound. I Love it!
God I never get tired of this beautiful song.
Beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful lyrics.
Excellent live version of a really cool song.
I love the metaphor "cup of coffee" cuz so many great love stories start with one.
I saw Shirley in this tour at a festival in Atlanta.I loved her look in all white with the black boots and this hair, she just looked so stunningly like porcelain with a real kick🌹the only way you can describe this woman is just unbelievably beautifully unique🌹
This song is awsome when performed live ...
"I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me"
Wow. So heartbreakingly strong and true.
I love this song, it's wonderfull....
I Love You.... Shirley. My whole family loves you.
It truly is the best sad song ever.
These lyrics are so sad that even though I love this song, I hardly ever listen to it, because it makes me feel very sad. I miss her so much
I forgot about Garbage. I used to like that CD with the song "I'm only happy when it rains". It takes a long time to grow old. I read that once on a quilt in a thrift store in Asheville NC and looking at her in this video I beleive it.
Thanks for posting! Awesome live!!
I don't drink and hate coffee, it makes me fall asleep but this is a cup of coffee I like.
she sounds even better live
first time i listened to it i didn't think it was something THAT special, but now i think it's just perfect
beautiful live!! Shirley Manson,, we see you're a very sensitive person, with deep emotions, all i can say is that maybe you were never wrong but love is a complicated thing and you show us you are a true passionate woman. thank you for being so human and let feel it through your song.
A french fan , sorry for my mistakes

Not while I'm still this obsessed...
You just feel the emotion in this song and Shirls sings it so well. We've all been there.

Shirley likes her "Cup of Coffee" with "Sugar" and "Milk". ^_^

Как же ты прекрасна,Ширли!
Garbage at the top of their game. Pure brilliance.
"my friends all say they're worried. I'm looking far too skinny. I stopped returning all their calls"
I DID lose a ton of weight when my ex dumped me for "a child"...was it him? :)
Shirley is amazing!
I always wanted to see them live... now it's too late! :(. This is one of my favorite songs from beautifulgarbage.
You're perfect
I actually like this live version better than the studio version, which is rare for me.
She also a great actress. I am watching her play a terminator that is head of a corporation. She plays this straight faced looking boss out to kill John Connor on the reruns of season two of-Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
.Watch it if you can find it.
