Drink up, baby
For once let's see you finish what you started
If you can
You know half-empty and lipstick-stained
Is no way to leave a bottle-or a man
Hang up your coat, you know i've always hated
The way you say you should go
Like you know that you're staying
And you say you'll be back
Like you know i'll be waiting
And I know it's time for you to show up
When i'm finally getting some sleep again
How come I only ever see you in the moonlight?
Then watch you leave again
As pretty as you look under my porch light
I can't keep loving you all night
And then watching you leave again
You're afraid to stay
And i'm afraid to say I can't keep loving you this way
Tell me, where you go when you vanish for weeks
Then ring up out of the blue
Asking if you can come to one of my shows, well I don't think so-is
What i'm thinking as I text you the street
But you never came, did you?
You'll never stay, will you?
You're afraid to stay (it was fun while it lasted)
And i'm afraid to say I can't keep loving you this way (it was fun while it lasted)
But I'm running out of sympathy
And it isn't just empathy
When I try to forget but I make an exception
Reascribing to feelings already present
