| Running like a dog never making connections,
|
| Keep your story straight if they question you,
|
| Try to separate the feeling from the truth.
|
| You’re pulled in many directions, it’s never a gamble.
|
| Low risk low reward love is all you need.
|
| But did you think that you could walk away so clean?
|
| Yet you’re staring at another strange ceiling again,
|
| Though you swore you’d stay home and read,
|
| Wondering when it is alright to leave,
|
| So you just get dressed.
|
| The door shuts behind you, the sun rears its head,
|
| You race to your car through the cold morning dew,
|
| Slightly annoyed and confused- she didn’t seem to mind,
|
| You didn’t spend the night.
|
| This is the end,
|
| Though I saw it coming before we went to bed,
|
| No I never could be the one for you.
|
| This is the end,
|
| Though I saw it before we started,
|
| And no one’s gonna be broken-hearted here.
|
| Staring straight ahead and never looking for answers,
|
| Dumb yourself down it’s a great disguise.
|
| Try to separate omissions from the lies.
|
| With low expectations then nobody’s let down,
|
| No long talks and no breakdowns on the way.
|
| But isn’t that what makes it worthwhile anyway?
|
| Now you’re pressed against somebody
|
| Who you don’t even like,
|
| Though they’re cute and they’ll pass the time,
|
| Kissing around their neck and not their mouth,
|
| So they don’t look in your eyes.
|
| You lie down exhausted and riddled with doubt,
|
| Then wait 'til they’re sleeping and sneak towards the door
|
| Careful not to make noise
|
| Across the creaky wood floors:
|
| They’re not as cold as yours. |
