lyrics

You were wearing that leather jacket
and a scowl upon your face
One hand was tapping a rhythm
and the other was around her waist
You were so familiar in that unfamiliar place
I can take this nostalgia
but not this bitter aftertaste
I cooked you breakfast
I wrote you songs
and kept you awake at night
You said you loved me
held me for so long
and let me win most of our fights
but now I lie here suffocating until daylight
because these fingers just won’t play right
won’t convey right
so I’m begging you
I’m begging you

What do you want me to say
That I can keep choking back memories
to try and keep this bile at bay
What do you want me to do
Just chainsmoke in the corner
while you figure out the mystery that is you
I once loved you deep as sin
now you’re just a stranger
wearing my lover’s skin

I’m waking up at night my dreams stuck in my throat
because this bed’s too big for one
all of the pieces that we’ve tied together
are surely becoming undone
All your past words screaming to be sung
I think instead
I’ll just run

Don’t you want me to, you want me, you want me to
be happy
aren’t I supposed to be, supposed to be, supposed to
be happy
I thought I made, I thought that I made you happy
But I didn’t did I baby
and there’s no asking why lately
so I’m leaving
I’m leaving

Cause what do you want me to say
That I can act like everything’s ok
What do you want me to do
Just pretend I don’t see exactly where I lose
Because I lost you
I lost you baby

You’ll just sit there with your fake face
with that smile sewn in place
and tell me
do you feel like a rock star now
Now that I’m nowhere to be found
and there’s nothing left of us to be salvaged
I tell you
after all of this fighting
all of this racket
I close my eyes
I see you wearing that leather jacket
