lyrics

Why try to keep me when it's so nice to be apart?
When did you change your mind and make me become so unkind?

Your face at the window
Your face at the window
Why won't you let go
Why won't you let go
You cry in your sleep and can't explain
what you meant when you called my name

Hide in the back seat
You hide in the back seat
and close your eyes daily
You close your eyes daily
Why won't you listen when I try to explain
we were never together and thats how it remains

Why do I try to hide my hate?
I look at you and can't relate
Why did I stay with you as long as I did?
Who was I trying to kid?

You wait in the bushes
You wait in the bushes
and go through my garbage
and go through my garbage
You keep little things that remind you of me
a sock, a shoe, various debris

You kneel at your shrine
You kneel at your shrine
Light your damn candles
your scented candles
and say a nice prayer to bring me back there
to where you are, but I'm happy apart
