about
this song is a submission to grief
lyrics
Got so used to not seeing you around
Now you’re back in town and I’m screaming
No excuses, I know it’s been a while
I thought I’d be just fine, but I’m bleeding
Glad to see that you’re smiling
Glad to see that you’re well
Feel the jealousy rising inside
Hope you can’t tell
I could call you out, cause a scene
I could scream and shout, break a glass and leave
Curse your name, spread the shame
You know I want to
But I’ll just be happy for you
Even when the morning comes
I’ll be waking up empty and drunk
You’re my bottle, my prescription drug
What do I do when I run out of you?
Facing myself is so hard to do
And I’m watching you do it
Fighting right through it
Like you never needed me at all
Oh, here I go my self-defense
Blaming you for my co-dependence
Wish I could curse your name, play that game
But what would that do
I’ll just be happy for …
Now you’re back in town and I’m screaming
No excuses, I know it’s been a while
I thought I’d be just fine, but I’m bleeding
Glad to see that you’re smiling
Glad to see that you’re well
Feel the jealousy rising inside
Hope you can’t tell
I could call you out, cause a scene
I could scream and shout, break a glass and leave
Curse your name, spread the shame
You know I want to
But I’ll just be happy for you
Even when the morning comes
I’ll be waking up empty and drunk
You’re my bottle, my prescription drug
What do I do when I run out of you?
Facing myself is so hard to do
And I’m watching you do it
Fighting right through it
Like you never needed me at all
Oh, here I go my self-defense
Blaming you for my co-dependence
Wish I could curse your name, play that game
But what would that do
I’ll just be happy for …
