You have your own life I know, but show up you should

I'm disappointed, my vision blurs alone on the curb

Eight weeks since and it's still the same
		     			
"Something just came up, I'm so sorry"

Riff 1					D
And maybe I've got needs that you can't cure
				       
But I'm waiting by the phone until I'm sure


Love like statistics, I've got a head full of hell alone in my thoughts

Kill the subject; refine the joke, which ever prompts response

In the moments you laugh it's still not enough
     				
You miss me, you can't mean that

Riff 1					D
And maybe you've got needs that I can't cure
Riff 1			D
We sleep in separate houses
				    
A Guarded head shapes the face and heart
		
So loss ain't bad
			    
I'm trading processing for sleep
		  		      
So it don't seem sad that I'm losing you


Blotch the face, blood vessels
		          
Broken heart and canvas skin
					       
Write it all out you won't ever quite describe it
							   
Loaned to father for weekends and given back without the interest
					      
Trivialize memories, dumb it down to make it fit
						   
Syllables, grammatical, read and rewrite for the reader
	 			
All the bitter nights in my room alone
				 
They won't know all my secret problems
	
Or the love that overcame us both

An untold twenty-two year story
	 
So it's one tale and then another, I was saying earlier

				     
A Guarded head shapes the face and heart
		
So loss ain't bad
			    
I'm trading processing for sleep
		  
So it don't seem sad that I'm losing you

When are you coming home
