Soda Glass

I've got a pain in my chest

And it doesn't go away

I know just when it started

I can pinpoint the day

Living in a hotel

West Hollywood

He said "I've found a new lover"

Guess we're really done for good

I got your notes on napkins

And my blood on your walls

Our soda glass love

Could only take so many falls

And my paper bag heart

Can only take so much rain

Before it drowns, dissolves

Gets dragged down the drain

I only wish you the best

But I've got this pain in my chest

It doesn't soften or scab

Lessen or fade

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

And I've got a song in my head

And it's never done

I tried strumming out the chords

The night we started having fun

It sounds like crickets

In the floorboards

Cupcakes in the dark

The drums of fireworks

And staircases and Echo Park

Got your notes on napkins

And my blood on your walls

Our soda glass love

Could only take so many falls

And my paper bag heart

Can only take so much rain

Before it drowns, dissolves

Gets dragged down the drain

I only wish you the best

But I've got this pain in my chest

It doesn't soften or scab

Lessen or fade

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

Yeah, my heart is in the gutter

Our love broken on the floor

But I would tape it back together

For a few minutes more

And I would drive downtown

Give up the Hollywood chase

For just a few more hours

Staring at your face

I know you're trying to stay sober

Be as great as can be

But how does your greatest life

Not include me?

How do you go for so long

Not wondering where I am?

Do you ever want to start over

And fall in love again?

Do you ever want to start over

And fall in love again?

Do you ever want to start over

And fall in love again?

I only wish you the best

But I've got this pain in my chest

It doesn't soften or scab

Lessen or fade

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

You said you shouldn't sleep over

I still wish you had stayed

Do you ever want to start over

And fall in love again?

Do you ever want to start over

And fall in love again
