Lately I've been sleeping alone on my own again Just me in an empty room on a single bed I've 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 don't 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 don't mean to mess with the 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 wilting hours in the waiting room Embrace the silence when there's nothing left You got no room for demons when you're self-possessed Why am I so bitter about you babe I don't understand Every time you're out in the sunshine And 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 Why'd you let me go When you still wanna know How much I care If I'd still be there Why'd 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 don't have to ask This maudlin moment Will soon come to pass
