I stayed up to wait for you all night I needed to know you were alright

And how is it you always call right after I've fallen to pieces and stumbled around

You disappear with no warning I wake up alone in the morning

And you know that I hate performing all of these people are watching me standing around

Then I turn and wink at the crowd now oh wait did I just say that out loud

I'm way too impatient to shout down every tunnel that leads away from here

I know I'm no prince charming and you find that quite alarming

You're humming Lover's Carvings and promising that this will make it clear

I'm not sure if I'm dreaming cause you still can't hear me screaming

So I just say that I'm leaving all of this behind and moving on

I'll see you on the weekends and we'll pretend we can be friends

Will I pass out in the deep end all I know is I've been proven wrong

When you get home tomorrow broken battered and borrowed simply scatter the sorrow of it all

And don't stop talking long

You ripped all of your teeth out and I tried my best not to freak out

Kicked my feet to the beat down every street I grew up walking on

And at the corner of Metro and Edison there's a stoplight that won't ever let us in

Cause it don't know that we need our medicine and we go home empty
