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
So 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
Latching on to love like a moth to flame
But what 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 defence
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
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
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
