We'd lose a few laughs or two I'm sleepy-eyed and I can't deal with the calling I've never been in a room So bitter, alone My cheeks are aching From all the fake smiling I do everyday And I can see you waiting But I'm not willing to talk again I got on my knees and grabbed the scruff of your neck this morning And marvelled at everything you've done for me I said under my breath, "This might be the last time I see you" But my friend, if I seem genuine, I meant everything Embrace the silence You don't get it all that much It's been playing on my mind Why I'm here more than it should My cheeks are aching From all the fake laughing I do everyday And I can see you waiting But I'm not willing to look at you again I got on my knees and grabbed the scruff of your neck this morning And marveled at everything you've done for me I said under my breath, "This might be the last time I see you" My friend, if I seem genuine, I meant everything As the boat came With my blinds dancing in the wind Waving hello or a cry for help They asked me why I'd been so long away My friend, if I seem lost at all I truly was today
