hey, darling i've been sleeping alone / i've been living in my telephone and i've / gone a week without saying something true / sometimes i wanna say i miss you so / though i only held you for a couple days, i know / without you i'm a deeper shade of blue
so i sing myself another sad bastard song / how even on the good days everything feels wrong / i could try to turn it around / but i know i'd fall back down / and i've gotten used to lying on the ground
hey, darling my head, it aches / the movie's almost over, just a couple more takes, and then / i'll just be a name in the credits / even if i get the things i want / a gang to follow and a soul to haunt, i know / it won't feel the way i intended
so i sing myself another sad bastard song / how even on the good days everything feels wrong / i could try to turn it around / but i know i'd fall back down / and i've gotten used to lying on the ground
and everybody knows / it hurts the most when good and sober / i'll make my way back home / but when i get there, the story's over / i guess i'd rather be lost than feel a sinking sense of boredom when i am found
so i sing myself another sad bastard song / how even on the good days everything feels wrong / i could try to turn it around / but i know i'd fall back down / and i've gotten used to lying / i've gotten used to lying on the ground
