We were wrapped up in sheets
You wore a t-shirt and jeans
I was naked and holding you closely
On a beautiful morning
When you left without warning me
That you'd realized that you couldn't love me
I called you that night
Before boarding my flight
To go back to where nobody knows you
And you sounded so distant
As I patiently listened
To the reasons why I shouldn't love you
Well girl, as much as I hate to admit it,
You were right.
Yeah you're right.
You're always right.
So I go back to my real life
With more of the same nights
Spent so desperately trying to hate you
I've been sleeping with strangers
And fuming with anger
When I realize that they can't replace you
In one or two years from now,
I'm sure we'll both have this figured out
But I doubt my liver will forget it
'Cause I've been drinking like my uncles did
And I'm fucking ashamed of it
But it hurts so much less than the alternative
But girl, as much as I'd like to think you love me,
You don't know me.
You don't know me.
You never knew me at all.
