Another breakup song, written 19 years ago and never sung until now. I don't really write shit like this very often. It's embarrassing!

lyrics

Every morning when the sun comes up
Things might've gotten better but no such luck
I'm always right where I was when I went to bed
And every evening when the sun goes down
I look around with a hopeless frown
Nothing's changed and it's time to go to bed again

There you are and here I am we're exchanging angry glances
I don't wanna lose you when I leave but I guess I'll take my chances
It breaks my heart to be the unhappy people we've become
And I wonder if you'll miss me when I'm gone

One of my eyes is squinted shut
While I lay on the floor, barely propped up
On one elbow while you snuggle with a crossword puzzle book
When I crawl inside your cold embrace
And see the tired expression on your face
I realize how cruel I've been and I take another look

As the days go by we hate our lives and we learn to hate each other
Imprisoning one another and pretending not to suffer
I don't wanna struggle through this ugly world alone
But I doubt you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

The other day I saw some photographs
And I remembered how we used to laugh
I set the pictures down with a little grin and a shudder in my chest
I wrack my brain trying to think of how
We used to love each other but it's over now
And I hope with all my heart that we can be friends once again

Cos I don't view those years with you as being a waste of time
But now I'm writing bummed out songs that barely even rhyme
And it's nice to hear that you're out there and you're having lots of fun
But i kinda like to think you miss me now I'm gone
