you put finger to the latch so often, i have lost track
i'll leave it open
i'm not worried, you'll come find me
listen for a second, erase the message
i know
i'm not lonely, you'll come find me
caught you, asleep again in my garden
how long?
were you watching? how long did you hide there?
i'll bring you a blanket, no point in freezing

we drive down a street with houses i recognize
i ask what you're thinking as you come up with a lie
we take a left when we get to fairlawn
you slow down when we pass your old house
i forgive all of your shortcomings, i always do
i wince in pain of the thought of the baby now
how she'll always hate me and say i betrayed her now
oh i've always stayed silent for you
indeed with no rest its the best i can do
i'm no mother i don't even try, she deserves everything
the ghost of mary tells me that i'm not too late
though i'll never be forgiven i know that i can still escape
oh how i've always covered for you
knowing better is the least i can do
i was always a follower
easier than terrible
better than a loner
all the more miserable
we drive down a street with houses i recognize

they say they found you floating facedown in the alcovy
you were a dull grey blue, i waited up till two
i slept soundly, the apartment firmly locked
dawn breaks, slowly, i awake to a door knock
it wasn't me who did you in; now the police seem convinced
but honey that's not the same sort of thing as saying you'll be missed
i remember now you payed half the rent
though it was never quite on time
you know i'll do ok to make ends meet
i don't even mind
they say they found you floating facedown in the alcovy
you were a dull grey blue, i waited up till two
had i known i would have gone to sleep
had i known i would have turned in early

i spent my night grinning when you expected grief
i spent my whole morning with your warning warming me
oh you said you'd leave
said this was my last chance
thought you were good for nothing
but honey you're good for a laugh
used my last ten drinking after you ripped through me
far from all the good things that you always promised me
oh you said you'd leave
said this was my last chance
thought you were good for nothing
but honey you're good for a laugh
i'll wear a short dress, i'll wave from my steps
a brief goodbye
cause this beds warm and this beers cold
for the next guy
i spent my night grinning when you expected grief
i spent my whole morning with your warning warming me
oh you said you'd leave
said this was my last chance
thought you were good for nothing
oh, honey you're good for a laugh
