There's a vase full of flowers in the dining room I'm sprawled out on the floor like a fallen broom It's three in the morning, I'm lonely, and I miss you If you could hear me now you would hate me I've been toasting us like we were dead already But we aren't dead, are we, I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me I know that it's useless and it's maudlin When you live in the past you're an orphan But I remember your laughter even after I remember your screaming Did you think I would change or were you always so wise
Did it sink in slowly or strike between the eyes I danced on a knife all my life because I thought it was honest Now I'm a photograph and you're a motion picture You're gone with the wind and I linger While all my wine-soaked words turned into vinegar You see a good lullaby can try to fly with the hymns But a stolen melody can't even make friends So I've fallen in with my old skeletons again And we miss you
