When He's Gone
She sits alone and stares out the window
The thoughts pour out, the morning sun pours in
She paints a smile on her lips and
Looks at herself in the mirror, as her day begins
She scrubs in basins never clean, it won't wash off, the smell of compromise
He opens the door for her, there's kindness in his smile
But she loathes the need in his eyes
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She burns like an effigy when he's gone, it makes her mad
How attached she's become
And if it were up to me, I'd prove her wrong, but it's too bad
It's someone else's song
He might come home, after she's sleeping and quietly admire the smile on her lips
He crawls up beside her, she presses it all up against him
And dreams
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
The thoughts pour out, the morning sun pours in
She paints a smile on her lips and
Looks at herself in the mirror, as her day begins
She scrubs in basins never clean, it won't wash off, the smell of compromise
He opens the door for her, there's kindness in his smile
But she loathes the need in his eyes
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She burns like an effigy when he's gone, it makes her mad
How attached she's become
And if it were up to me, I'd prove her wrong, but it's too bad
It's someone else's song
He might come home, after she's sleeping and quietly admire the smile on her lips
He crawls up beside her, she presses it all up against him
And dreams
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
