The Sadness

I was waiting for you at the bar last night
In your favorite jeans they still fit so right
I think I've grown in these last few years
You let me go but we're still here
Down my drink when I see your face
Hate that the sadness gets erased
Just by breathing the air you're in
But I won't fall for it again

You said "you look good, how you been?"
And I can feel myself sinking in
One more drink and we'll take this back
To your place, oh I can't do that
So I start to get up the nerve
Think about what I deserve
"Loving you feels like a curse"
I put that out in the universe

Oh your lips are so tempting
I know that you'd let me
Take off your clothes
And fall on the floor
But as soon as I wake up
The space that I take up
Makes you disappear
So it's over, my dear

In the dark of the night
When I lay in her bed
Feels like hundreds of years
Since you controlled my head
She's asleep with her hand
On the heart that was yours
I remember the sadness
And how you let me go

Now I'm putting on a brave face
But I can see that you know it's fake
I hate how much I believed in fate
My mouth is talking, I see your frown
The future looms but I can't slow down

Oh your lips are so tempting
I know that you'd let me
Take off your clothes
And fall on the floor
But as soon as I wake up
The space that I take up
Makes you disappear
So it's over for real

In the dark of the night
When I lay in her bed
Feels like hundreds of years
Since you controlled my head
She's asleep with her hand
On the heart that was yours
I remember the sadness
And how you let me go

I left you at the bar last night
Kissed your hand as you started to cry
But when a ghost won't leave your house
Sometimes you just gotta run right out

In the dark of the night
When I lay in her bed
Feels like hundreds of years
Since you controlled my head
She's asleep with her hand
On the heart that was yours
I remember the sadness
And how you let me go

And how you let me go
And how you let me go
