Girl I Don't Know

Ride out to the lights
Fall down in the street
Dead bouquet of flowers
Lying underneath my feet
Avoiding eye contact
With everyone I meet
So I can be alone again

Asleep on the couch
In front of the TV
Reflected on the empty screen
A ghost instead of me
Last remains of dignity
Chained to a dying tree
So I can be alone again

And this is how
It plays out in my head
I get back up and go on instead
Girl I don't know
Is sleeping in my bed
I should have stayed at home
Stayed at home
There's a girl I don't know
Sleeping in my bed
Just another prop
To help me clear my head
And the emptiness
Fills my heart with dread
I should be alone
Alone instead

Ride out to the lights
Fall down to my knees
Shadow of my former self
Now rustling in the leaves
Shuffle off this mortal coil
A tightening thread it weaves
Now I can be alone again

And this is how
It plays out in my head
I get back up and go on instead
Girl I don't know
Is sleeping in my bed
I should have stayed at home
Stayed at home
There's a girl I don't know
Sleeping in my bed
Just another prop
To help me clear my head
And the emptiness
Fills my heart with dread
I should be alone
Alone instead
