lyrics

Call it jealousy or selfishness, and you’re probably right, but it makes me feel better to know you’re home alone tonight. It seems I’m not the only one who’s finding it hard to face the day sober... or to face it at all. You were so foolish, so hopelessly naive (as if there were any way to fix this mess that you’ve made). The moment you closed that door, this house breathed its last, and now this room is a coffin... and there’s no going back.

Now that song is on the radio... the song we used to sing. “There’s no such thing as chance, baby... this was always meant to be...” But the thing we never realized - that one awful catch - is that just because something was meant to be, doesn’t mean it was meant to last.

I’d hate to hear what version of this whole sordid tale you’re relaying to your friends over coffee somewhere. Coffee? Or is it whiskey in that stained glassware mug? Well whatever helps you sleep at night... Don’t worry, love. Your secret’s safe with me. Now honestly, tell me... Can you say the same? (Whatever helps you sleep at night.) When you turn out the lights... When you close those pretty eyes... Whose face do you see? Well I hope it’s still me. And I hope you can’t forget - I’m the best you’ll ever have.

This broken face. These bloodshot eyes. These shaking hands. This drunken smile. These sleepless dreams, these waking cries. It ends tonight. It ends tonight.
