Lately I've been sleepin' alone on my own again

Just me in an empty room on a single bed

I've been tryin' all this time just to see

All the reasons you had given just to leave

So why am I so bitter about you babe?

I don't understand

Was I tryin' to cash in the fantasy without the reality check?

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely babe

Latchin' on to love like a moth to flame

But what we gonna do when the embers start to fade?

I don't mean to mess with your master plan

But when you put out the fire I'll just start it again

I guess I'll have to keep my distance for your defense

Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue

I'm a tired lover wiltin' hours in the waiting room

Embrace the silence when there's nothing left

You got no room for demons when you're self-possessed

So why am I so bitter about you babe?

I don't understand

Every time you're out in the sunshine

But I'll just sleep through it

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely

And all you wanted was the company, yeah

Why'd you let me go?

When you still wanna know

How much I care

If I'd still be there

And why'd you set me free

When you need the sympathy?

Come as you are

And my tongue is undone

Was I spoilt for love?

Have you had enough?

Wait out the danger

You don't have to ask

But this maudlin moment

Will soon come to pass

Why'd you let me go?

When you still wanna know

How much I care

If I'd still be there

And why'd you set me free

When you need the sympathy?

Come as you are

And my tongue is undone

Was I spoilt for love?

Have you had enough?

Wait out the danger

You don't have to ask

But this maudlin moment

Will soon come to pass
