My Sick Complainant

She sits and stares into her mixed drink

Telling everyone she's right, well, she's right

I've tried enough on getting over this

Just to end up in this room with the two of you

But you tell me that your phone don't ring enough

And you say she's just the one who picks you up from work

Because I'm not around

Well, I've tried to save this from your sick complainant

Well, I lied, but it was just to save us both

And I tried to name this like it makes a difference to what's true

But that doesn't matter now

And I made a promise to not hate you for this

Well, I lied and I can't cover that up

She walks back into the hallway, searches through a crowded room

Needs a way out of here and I made my mind up not to notice

So I sat back down on the couch, pretended not to care, I didn't care

But I see her as she moves to the front door

And I guess I couldn't stand it any more

She was gone before I could stop her

And I tried to save this from your sick complainant

And I lied, but that was just to save us both

And I crave the moment when there is no resistance in your eyes

And your heart is open wide

And I lack conviction with these drunk decisions

I don't try, and I'm left confused, alone

But I want to be and remember how to see things

Beyond this dull divide
