Nuclear Saturday Starless
Waking up is harder now,
I sleep as much as I’m allowed.
I’ll make the best of it somehow.
For one more day
I’ll stare at pictures on my wall,
hiding hopes that they might fall.
That won’t bother me at all.
You could not stay
Look up to a starless sky.
So sunken, and empty, that’s just how I’m feeling.
I close my eyes
see the last time
I wrapped my arms around you.
You swore you never let me go.
Chorus:
If track records speak for themselves,
Then I can’t be surprised by my latest disaster.
I’m not the one you’re after.
(End of the line)
Pathetic now fully defined
this conversation always ends the same. (End of the line)
I’m giving up, I’m now resigned to
Live with things that I could never…
Change the past we’ve left behind,
or wipe these memories from my mind.
They say all wounds will heal with time.
I hope they’re right.
But I’ll still be here by the phone,
Ashamed of everything I’ve shown,
Scripting dramas of my own
for one more night.
I’m scared that I’m losing myself.
I’m afraid I’m forgetting
the sound of your laughter.
I’m not the one you’re after.
(End of the line)
Chorus
Close my eyes
see the last time
I wrapped my arms around you.
You said goodbye and somehow
I must learn to breath without you.
You swore you never let me go.
