I know you don't mean to be mean to me,
'Cause when you want to
You can make me feel like we belong,
We belong.
Lately you make me feel
All I am is a back-up plan.
I say I'm done and then you smile at me and I forget
Everything I said.
I buy into those eyes
And into your lies.
You say you'll call, but I know you.
You say you're coming home, but I know you.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't,
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
I wish you were where you're supposed to be —
Close to me.
But here I am just staring at this candle burning out.
And still no sound
Of footsteps on my stairs
Or your voice anywhere.
You say you'll call, but I know you.
You say you're coming home, but I know you.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't,
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you.
You say you're coming home, but I know you.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't,
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
