Expiration Date

I was so afraid of being lonely that I thought I'd get some practice
When I didn't take your calls
And I blamed it on bad service

I heard from your friends that you're on all the dating apps again
The ones that I can't stand to keep
On my iPhone screen
They make me nervous

Now and then you still appear
In the ghosts of my living room windows
Here and there I think I miss you
Then I wake up and the door's closed
I never wanted anything but something
Something to know
You held me and I told you I should go

Sometimes I pray
You're somewhere loving someone who will stay
That's what you said you wanted and it's valid
I wanted the same thing

But times change strangely
Once upon a time I never wanted to leave
You held my hand in August
And I let you know how much it meant to me

Now it's when I only see you
In the ghosts of my kitchen ceiling
Here and there I think I need you
But it's just me breathing
I never wanted anything but something
Something that could grow
You held me and I told you I should go

You held me and I told you I should go
You held me and I knew I had to go
