Come over later you say
Reluctantly I agree, okay
Things haven’t been going our way

I finally get there
All we do is stare
The silence is too much to bear

You take a deep breath and tell me you’re done
I sit there, silent
I am literally stunned

You say you don’t want me
I say that I want we
You say no that I want she

You know this isn’t true
You know I want you
We both know we’re through

Acceptance comes soon
It’s an unusual tune
To hear both our sobs in un(ison)

We stop the tears
And look back on the years
And talk about our hopes and fears

She says don’t worry
To find another I’m in no hurry
Just to slowly ease my fury

I say I don’t want anyone
Ill wait for you under the sun
But right now I’ve got to run

I ran all the way back home
Past all the neighbors’ stupid lawn gnomes
To our bedroom, now a tomb

I’ve been here quite a bit
Here near the window I sit
Under the sun, I will not quit
