When It Ends

It's quarter to, and three drinks in
your side of the bed's still missing you.
Through gritte teeth I paced the floor,
Nothing much more I can do.

Same old story, searchin for clues
that your body left to join your heart.
Tired of answers shrugged off with anger
and being told I'm not doing my part.


It's hours since you're gone
there's nothing left to rest my hopes on
I'm here baby, saving your place
and counting the minutes just in case
but when the emptiness inside me
snuffs out the everything inside you
then we'll know not to pretend'
that the last few months have been when it ends.


I can't keep guessing the things in your head
when I'm not even sure what's in mine.
I only know I once loved you madly
and swore to keep you forever by design.

So here I sit caressing your favorite shirt
longing to feel your warmth inside
and thinking of all the wrongs we've done
and how our emotions can possibly abide.


I'm left wondering how I'll get by
when all I wanna do is lay down and die.
I'm still here, baby, hoping you'll come back
so we can kiss and make up and get back on track.
Please don't let forever end
with viciousness and poisoned regrets.
Please don't let finality descend
and make this be the moment when it ends.
