When I wake up, I hope you're gone.
Said I'd love you, but not for long
I'm not breathing in your air.
I feel nothing. I feel nothing.
Don't be mad because it's not your fault.
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth,
Tiring you out.
I don't want to see the sunlight
Gliding down your back in the morning;
And there's no need to warn me
That you don't ever get close to
The ones you lie down with
I'm already absent;
My chest is a basement
Where my heart is all boxed up.
Don't be mad because it's not your fault.
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth,
Tiring you out.
And what we had might have burned real slow,
But I blew it out so we'll never know
And as the light starts to leave the room
I'm not in love with the afterglow.
Don't be mad because it's just for fun.
We'll stay the night but never see the sun.
When I wake up, I hope you're gone…
Don't be mad because it's not your fault.
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth,
Tiring you out.
And what we had might have burned real slow,
But I blew it out so we'll never know
And as the light starts to leave the room
I'm not in love with the afterglow.
