Bitter

Lately Iʼve been sleeping alone on my own again

Just me in an empty room on a single bed

Iʼve been trying all this time just to see

All the reasons you had given just to leave

Why am I so bitter about you babe

I donʼt understand

Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely

Latching on to love like a moth to flame

But what are we gonna do when the embers start to fade

I donʼt mean to mess with the master plan

But when you put out the fire Iʼll just start it again

I guess Iʼll have to keep my distance for your defense

Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue

Iʼm a tired lover wilting hours in the waiting room

Embrace the silence when thereʼs nothing left

You got no room for demons when youʼre self-possessed

Why am I so bitter about you babe

I donʼt understand

Every time youʼre out in the sunshine

And Iʼll just sleep through it

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely

And all you wanted was the company

Whyʼd you let me go

When you still wanna know

How much I care if Iʼd still be there

Whyʼd you set me free

If you need the sympathy

Come as you are

My tongue is undone

Was I spoilt for love

Have you had enough

Wait out the danger

You donʼt have to ask

This maudlin moment

Will soon come to pass
