I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again,
There's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever."

As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well, as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out.
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.
