Appointment

The worst pain is not hearing I love you
When you don't say it back after two years in the tracks

That big stain on the couch I keep meaning
To wash it with bleach, can we set a date next week

My heart breaks when you talk about attraction
Can you keep that to yourself, anticipate my reaction

But I can't stay mad for more than ten seconds
I turn around to wipe my tears in your direction

And I don't know where this came from
This is the life that you and I created
And just two hours before it all started
You called me to check in
I was in the car and
You asked me what I needed
I told you nothing
But ask me today
I need some lovin'
You need some space
I need some closeness
We both need some help
Let me make an appointment

It's a cyclical thing, but the waiting's getting longer
The events are spread out, but the truth is getting harder

I've made a plan and I think that's the problem
I'm trying to fix, what I can't even follow

If it doesn't go away, babe I'm here for the ride
Let me sit next to you, let me be by your side
And it's not about the drinking this time
It's the pain underneath, it's the cold world outside

And I don't know where this came from
This is the life that you and I created
And just two hours before it all started
You called me to check in
I was in the car and
You asked me what I needed
I told you nothing
But ask me today
I need some lovin'
You need some space
I need some closeness
We both need some help
Let me make an appointment

And it's hard not to feel like the victim this time
Getting stepped on again, getting shoved out the side
You're my best friend, you know, only my lover part-time
And it hurts like hell, babe, it's like you've canceled the phone line

And then you walk in the door, and I'm ready for you to apologize
And then you fall on the couch, and I run to your side
And I beg you to let me just hold you this time
So I can sing you to sleep, wipe the tears from your eyes

And I don't know where this came from
This is the life that I thought we created
And just two hours before it all started
You called me to check in
I was in the car and
You asked me what I needed
I told you nothing
But ask me today
I need some lovin'
You need some space
I need some closeness
We both need some help
Let me make an appointment
