Hollow

Early morning and the sun

Is peaking through the Valium

The two of you stayed up into the night

 

The promises that you gave up

You didn't tell the rest of us

Exactly what it was that transpired

 

And all along I'd tell myself

Just to get to sleep

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

From stumbling to fumbling

You used to lose your wedding ring

You'd come home at half past 8

You quit at 5

 

And every time that she caught on

You told her she was in the wrong

And lying to yourself what had transpired

 

And all along I'd tell myself

Just to get to sleep

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

I can't believe I'm complicit

To just accept what you have said

And bury it down deep

 

You told me that it was just that

You promised me that you just slept

And now I'm just meant to go to sleep

 

And all along I'd tell myself just go

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

We'll I can't be sure what you'd expect

In the last act of a script like this

As if it never crossed your mind

 

No you can't escape a scene like this

In the last act of a tragedy

By now you should

Have memorised your lines

 

We'll I can't be sure what you'd expect

In the last act of a script like this

Did the rest of us cross your mind

 

No you can't escape a scene like this

In the last act of a tragedy

You should have broken

This before tonight

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

 

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this lie

So break it today

Or break it tonight

I'd be hollow too with this
