Tire tracks on my front lawn
A dead giveaway she's been here and gone
Didn't even look to see if I was home
Had some questions about her mental health
And needed to be by herself
But wasn't sure if she wanted to be alone
Only calls me by my name when she's upset
Or else it's 'baby' though she knows I hate that
One more thing she wished had not been said
Guess we won't be getting sleep tonight
Maybe we'll do that when we die
Lay with the monsters underneath the bed
Saturday morning came and went without her
For the first time in quite a while
Better late than never can't go on forever
While we're spending all our days wasting time
A picture frame crashed against the wall
As the glass began to fall
Our photograph lay torn on the bedroom floor
That shattered mirror over the sink
Says it's wrong to act before you think
The evidence even she can not ignore
Said she can't get out of her own skin
Feels as tired and empty as she's ever been
With no conscience of the toll it takes on me
I hear her crying in the shower from the other room
I go outside and howl at the moon
The only place to find some room to breathe
Sunday morning came and went without her
For the first time in quite a while
Better late than never can't go on forever
While she's spending all her days wasting time
Last night I stayed awake thinking about her
For the last time for quite a while
Better late than never can't go on forever
While I'm spending all my days wasting time
While I'm spending all my days wasting time
