Lyrics

Sitting on the bleachers in the gym
Pulling grey cotton down over my skin
I'm getting up to leave and now
You're walking in
I wish you never smiled at me
Now I'm pushing food around my plate
Wondering why you showed up
If you already ate
Why am I surprised when you always make me wait
Do the other dinner guests know?
Why can't I forget your number?
Don't you want me to recover?
Do I have a broken mirror?
Why do you look like a stranger?
Getting up at 5AM to run
How did you convince me
That we were having fun
Looking at your face is like staring at the sun
I close my eyes and you just get brighter
You're kissing the corners of my mouth
You tell me one day soon you won't be around
And I know that it's cruel but I can't stop
Counting down
I hope you move somewhere cold
There's no way we are breaking even
And I don't want you to stay
But it hurts more when you're leaving
Why can I forget your number?
Don't you want me to recover?
Do I have a broken mirror?
Why do you look like a stranger?
Am I talking underwater?
Way down here I feel much lighter
Why can't I forget your number?
