about

Obviously, this is a breakup song.

lyrics

Morning greets me with an empty bed again,
But it wasn't this way the night before,
You avoid me, it destroys me like medicine I'm allergic to
The way you pretend that I'm not yours,

That's alright, that's okay,
There are plenty of days left for you to stay,
Right next to me longer than sunrise,

We're all human,
We all feel that lack of,
(Love)ly, you are nothing new,
Let me tell you wife, you can't wash away the life
We made become untrue,

And you're not the only one,
Who's been feeling these empty nights,
Who's becoming so undone,

Hate me, go right ahead and loathe my voice,
And keep telling yourself it's me that's holding you back,
Oh sweetie, we all know I'm your Hobson's Choice,
That I'm the reason you feel worse, the reason your head hurts,
The reason your teeth have plaque,

That's alright, that's okay,
You have plenty of teeth left in your mouth to say,
The hundreds and hundreds of things that you despise,

We're all living,
We're all saying the same things
To those that we once loved,
Let me tell you why we're no different from any
One couple you think of,

No matter what you say,
I won't go walking around,
Pretending I feel any other way.

There's an open eye,
There's a closed one too,
There's the day I put everything out there to grow OLD with you,
There's an empty bed,
There's a full one too,
There's the day you decided to say that you LOVED me too,
There's an empty gaze,
There's a passionate view,
There's the day that I wanted to break every TIE with you,

To you it's just another stage,
Another damn dip in the valley,
But it's not that way to me.
