(Verse)

Lately I've been sleeping alone on my own again

Just me in an empty room on a single bed

I've been trying all this time just to see

All the reasons you had given just to leave

(Chorus)

So why am I so bitter about you babe

I don't understand

Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely

(Verse)

Latching on to love like a moth to flame

But what we gonna do when the embers start to fade

I don't mean to mess with your master plan

But when you put out the fire I'll just start it again

I guess I'll have to keep my distance for your defence

Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue

I'm a tired lover wilting hours in the waiting room

Embrace the silence when there's nothing left

You got no room for demons when you're self-possessed

(Chorus)

Why am I so bitter about you babe

I don't understand

Every time you're out in the sunshine I'll just sleep through it

But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness

When all you were was just a little lonely

And all you wanted was the company

(Bridge)

Why'd you let me go

If you still want to know

How much I care

If I'd still be there

Why'd you set me free

If you need the sympathy

Come as you are

My tongue is undone

(Outro)

Was I spoilt for love?

Have you had enough

Wait out the danger

You don't have to ask

This maudlin moment

Will soon come to pass
