Waking up right next to you
Is the last thing that I want to do
Knowing you don't care
'Cause you're spineless
And too much to take
My kindness was a big mistake
It gets me nowhere
And I've been reading through your letters
Hoping you might never make up your mind
And I, I wish I was a boy again
Where I could still pretend you were mine
(At least for tonight)
I'm drinking too much these days
It never seems to help
'Cause you say I'll never change
And I'm the only one who I care about
When you say
That you're leaving and you're ready to go
'Cause you thought I was cheating
But I don't think you want to know
Well I think that things are better this way
When it seems like you're breathing
But you're already dead to me
Making up my mind on you
Is something I wish I could do
But you're so damn thoughtless
And I'm not going to lose
To any of these games you play
'Cause no one likes you anyway
You're just a faceless name
So what will you say
When I tell you that your life's like a book?
It's torn and tattered sitting on a shelf
Where no one wants to look.
No one wants to look.
And I'm sure
That this is what you want
As your face begins
To haunt my memories
And seep into my future dreams
Where no one can hear you scream
That you're leaving and you're ready to go
'Cause you thought I was cheating
But I don't think you want to know
Well I think that things are better this way
When it seems like you're breathing
But you're already dead to me
