Lately Iʼve been sleeping alone on my own again Just me in an empty room on a single bed Iʼve been trying all this time just to see All the reasons you had given just to leave Why am I so bitter about you babe I donʼt understand Was I trying 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 Latching on to love like a moth to flame But what are we gonna do when the embers start to fade I donʼt mean to mess with the master plan But when you put out the fire Iʼll just start it again I guess Iʼll have to keep my distance for your defense Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue Iʼm a tired lover wilting hours in the waiting room Embrace the silence when thereʼs nothing left You got no room for demons when youʼre self-possessed Why am I so bitter about you babe I donʼt understand Every time youʼre out in the sunshine And Iʼll 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 Whyʼd you let me go When you still wanna know How much I care if Iʼd still be there Whyʼd you set me free If you need the sympathy Come as you are My tongue is undone Was I spoilt for love Have you had enough Wait out the danger You donʼt have to ask This maudlin moment Will soon come to pass
