It's coming back the things you said to me,
I'm hiding away from reality
Denying myself all the better parts
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard
And then I find it hard to sleep at all
Wishing I could give someone else a call
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me
Forgetting someone might come over me
Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?
But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still
2nd Verse (same progression as first verse)
And it's black, because I know it will never work for me
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these,
