lyrics

I wait for you here
To be back
With those groceries
You promised me
So I could make my favorite soup

You said you’d bring
Beets
From our New York City streets
But the Chinese grocers
Know more about you
Than I do now

But why you gotta leave me alone
With my paper thin hair
And this bucket of bones
I think I’m
Better off dying alone

I wait on your bed
Trying to whisper sweet words
Into your pillow
Cause I want you to think about me
When you rest tonight
I put on my tights
So I’d look my best
Cause I need you to think you’d
Miss me
If i left
Tonight

But why you gotta leave me alone
With my paper thin hair
And this bucket of bones
I think I’m
Better off dying alone

(Bridge)
I’ve heard that love is all about
Letting go of things you love with grace
But i’m so bad at goodbyes
I’d have us sink into the wall here
Ify you’d only stay

Youre back in the door
And I can tell that theres no more
The seasons over and theres no more beats you say to me
You go to your room shut the door and I pick up your shoes
And I go back to mine and try not to think about you

But why you gotta leave me alone
With my paper thin hair
And this bucket of bones
I think I’m
Better off dying alone
