Is life any better without having you around?
Lately it’s been playing on my mind
Feeling the walls close in
And the clouds darken above
I can only assume it’s not
And without you what have I got?
Broken promises and neglected memories
I can’t bear to recollect
In the aim to protect myself
From losing my head entirely

I wonder how low my elecy bill would be
If I didn’t have the TV on all the time for some company
Even if it rarely works
It’s the price I pay to stop myself feeling lonely
Sometimes

I used to get hard just by our communications
Now I struggle since I learned about your reputation
It’s not your fault I suppose
We all do things we regret in a state of desperation
Sometimes

We thought we were right for each other
Convincing ourselves we weren’t just friends but lovers
Was it wishful thinking,
Or pure naivety,
Believing there could be a happy ending?
And now we don’t even talk
Which is ironic
Cause your only hobby is staring at your phone
Is that what helps you from feeling alone?
Maybe you and I are similar after all
