The Man Who Loves You

The man who loves you isn't dead
He still drives my car
Still sleeps in my bed
The man who misses you
I see him all the time
We meet up on the back of spoons
And windows late at night
The man I wish I wasn't anymore
Well he's not going anywhere
I've tried to show him the door

On lonely nights I've tried to lose him in the dark
I've worn disguises
Traveled wide and far
Played a lot of characters and tried to go method
But did the man who loves you ever flicker for a second
Sometimes I wonder why I try

The man who loves you could use some rest
His eyes are glazing over
No he ain't looking his best
The man who misses you
Is losing track of time
The days blur into hours
And the hours blur into the wine
The man who ought to take it easy now
Well he says he'll go anywhere
Let's spend the night on the town

On lonely nights I tried to lose him in the dark
I've worn disguises
Traveled wide and far
Played a lot of characters and tried to go method
But did the man who loves you ever flicker for a second
Sometimes I wonder why I try
Why it feels like such a crime
To love more than you're given
To hold secrets in your mind
But I'll try, try to be good
Not to spill on passersby
Not to beg you for your heart
Or burden you with mine

But the man who loves you isn't dead
He's just a bit hungover
Would you please turn off the lights
The man who misses you
Is hoping for things to change
The night was young a while ago
But now it can't remember its age
The man I wish I wasn't anymore
Well he's not going anywhere
Not until I brush my teeth and get dressed
