Sad Bastard

I've been in this town for days

This summer it is gonna be long

And I heard you came and went, but now you're gone

I remember when we spoke

The light shined off of your eyes

Reflections of my face showed no surprise

Now I hear you call my name

But I crawl back in my house for days

To fix the leaking pipes,

That you always used to hate

Now shouldn't you decide?

I will pack away my photographs and pride

How will we divide what is left of our past lives?

I want to believe what you say to me

I know it's real despite all you do.

Soon you will be back again

Without all of these words that you speak

Can I hold you close without

Making you weep?
