I used to fall asleep to you talking to me
I don't listen to anything now
B G#m F#
Nothing to do with us, I'm just so tired of thinking
About everything
B G#m F#
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
B G#m F#
Between you and me, I thought it would all last
A little while longer
[Refrão]
E C#m
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
G#m F#
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
E C#m
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
G#m F#
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

You don't know anything, I think about you way more than anything else

I'm not that spiritual I still go out all the time to department stores

Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good

Between you and me I still fall apart at the thought of your voice
[Refrão]

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light

And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me

Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes

Learning how not to cry every time there's
Another sad unbearable morning

But sometimes there's nothing I can do

I can't help it

You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what I'm saying
