i won't act like i know what you're pursuing
i won't pretend to feel the way you do
if you're wondering right now what i am doing
well i am open-eyed dreaming i am writing to you.

i will not break your heart for no mantle
and i'll lay with you on any type of floor
i'm sorry if i get obsessive with sentimental.
i just cannot be a witness anymore

haunted by a smile
that stays a while
but doesn't make us feel happy
and you stay close to me
in your dreams..
is that enough?
its plenty to upset me.
you bought another night
with your vodka tonics and the cheap ploy
that it was ever right...that it was ever right

you've told me things that have no undoing
you knew what you were doing when you looked at me and sighed
and with any decision you make there is no arguing
but with me you were never brave enough to try

i will not break your heart for no mantle
and i'll lay with you on any type of floor
i'm sorry if i get obsessive with sentimental.
i just cannot be a witness anymore
