Do you feel better
now you’re out that door
do you feel much safer
than you’ve ever felt before
You distract me
you don’t own me
not anymore
and I have to say
that I won’t shed
one tear
Cause baby you’re blind
so blind
and I knew it from the start
you were gonna break my heart
Baby you’re blind
so blind
and now the end is near
you know I won’t, I won’t shed one tear
Does it make you feel bad
now that you don’t belong
and do you feel the shame
do you feel like you were wrong
Wisest thing is to go on and hold your
head high
your head high
When the night comes
you will be fine again
Cause baby you’re blind
so blind
and I knew it from the start
you were gonna break my heart
Baby you’re blind
so blind
and now the end is near
you know I won’t, I won’t shed one tear

You’re more that just a man I understand now stop your complaining
Feeling insecure, drink in your hand and all the while I’m still waiting
Your mother would be proud of your nonchalant ways
she whispers in your ear “Get that hair out of your face”
You’re not what I want not what I need
Finally coming down where I can see
What you’ll do to her you’ll do to me
So I’ll hold, hold, hold, hold, hold
Hey you little boy where are you toys do they keep walking out on you
none of them will stay it’s almost a shame it’s like the all know the truth
I can see right thru your troublesome heart
the tragedy begins when we’re just close enough
You’re not what I want not what I need
Finally coming down where I can see
What you’ll do to her you’ll do to me
So I’ll hold, hold, hold, hold, hold
So you’ll come to me, and I’ll hold
And you’ll talk to me, and I’ll hold
and you’ll yell at me, and I’ll hold
and you’ll beg and I’ll hold and you’ll beg but I’ll hold, hold, hold
You’re not what I want not what I need
Finally coming down where I can see
What you’ll do to her you’ll do to me
So I’ll hold, hold, hold, hold, hold

I am stuck in between these walls they whisper in the night
the thought of being without you haunts me until morning light
I am stuck in between what we had and I gave up
and I still catch myself drinking coffee from your coffee cup
This lonely room is full of strangers now
when all it really wants is you
And though my loving heart for you it died and turned to stone
at least for a little while
we had a home
I am in between waves of love and hate, doubts and regrets
and I miss you most of all when I’m on the balcony and the sun sets
Don’t worry things are getting easier
for every time I rearrange
for every picture frame I’ve taken down
and every bedsheet that I’v changed
And though my loving heart for you it died and turned to stone
at least for a little while
we had a home
These pretty faces all around me
are saying things will be okay
but every thought of you is crippling me
for every kiss I’ll have to pay
And though my loving heart for you it died and turned to stone
at least for a little while
we had a home
And if you do come back to me I’ll leave you all alone
but at least for a little while, just a lonely little while
we had a home.
