Slumber

Does your mother wonder how I've been
For the sake of conversation?
"Is he alright? Is he okay?"
("What's he up to now these days?")

So do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how
Do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how

You'd rather talk about something else
Like that better boy that makes you proud
More well suited, more well spoken, so much more than me
(He's so much more than me)

Don't get me so wrong
You've got me so wrong

This sorry slumber's turning into
Another nightmare I'll have about you
Talking 'bout how you deserve
(The happiness I'll never earn)

Does your mother wonder how I've been
For the sake of conversation?
Could you tell her that I've grown up
(She won't know you made it all up)

So do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how
Do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how

I just do it for attention
Confessing candor, I need to confide in
Someone safer, someone saner, someone other than me
(You weren't there for me)

Don't got me so wrong
You've got me so wrong

This sorry slumber's turning into
Another nightmare I'll have about you
Talking 'bout how you deserve
(The happiness I'll never earn)

Always felt this way, haven't you
Said enough? It seems I've been through
More than I ever deserved
(The happiness I'll never earn)

I lost today
But I'll try for tomorrow
Nothing to say
But I'll say more tomorrow

Be good now, be good now, (I lost today)
Be good for goodness sake (but I'll try for tomorrow)
In and out of love (nothing to say)
Out of control (but I'll say more tomorrow)

Be good now, be good now, (guess it didn't ever matter)
Be good for goodness sake (guess it didn't ever matter)
In and out of love (guess it didn't ever matter)
Out of control (guess it didn't ever matter)

I lost today (guess it didn't ever matter)
But I'll try for tomorrow (guess it didn't ever matter)
But I'll try for tomorrow (guess it didn't ever matter)
I'll say more tomorrow (guess it didn't ever matter)
