lyrics

I stood in the shower
For almost an hour
I studied the drops
On my back

As they fell far down my legs
Slower and slower
I couldn’t tell if my mind
Or the water was lower

So I sank to all the sad things
And I wished for all the glad things
But I only found walls that were black

So I searched and I searched
I worked and I worked
But I knew that I was empty

‘Cause you sucked all the life out
And you rained all the sun out
You left me feeling things
That were darker than the night

And you brought all the doubt in
And you made me feel frightened
‘Cause you purposely left me
Out of your sight

The sight that you now see
Is open for view
I’m only one person
But I thought my dreams should count too

Yet, how could you know?
‘Cause you left right on cue

Well, I’ve learned my lesson
When you put all your best in
Hey, it’s like you said,
“Plans rarely work out”

And I know there was distance
And trouble and disagreement
But was that really what this
Whole thing was about

‘Cause you sucked all the life out
And you rained all the sun out
You left me feeling things
That were darker than the night

And you brought all the doubt in
And you made me feel frightened
‘Cause you purposely left me
Out of your sight

The sight that you now see
Is open for view
I’m only one person
But I thought my dreams should count too

Yet, how could you know?
‘Cause you left right on cue
So tell me what am I supposed to do

I told you
I stood in the shower
For almost an hour
I studied the drops
On my back
