Faded in the streetlights

The light in your bedroom keeps me company

Though it makes me wish you'd disappear

Because I don't think you deserve my sadness,

And yet I give it to you anyway - everyday

Handpicked and wrapped up with a sort of pleading desperation

A "please take me back there, sitting on your front step with sweet consolidation"

But we don't go there anymore,

And so the light in your bedroom keeps me company,

And at nighttime I wish I'd disappear
