Late nights I come home,
See you sleeping.
Tiptoe in the room,
Try not to disturb you.
You made me wash away the night,
Washing the joy out of my life.
But I can't stand to tiptoe anymore.
And you can't stand by your life
And let it slip you by.
And I'm not too young to know
This isn't right.
And all the pieces you left behind
Here in my hands, and over time
They'll put themselves back,
And it won't include you.
It won't include you.
My feet are sore and bloodied
From the broken glass we walk on.
And I know I can't stay here.
You say
It's so easy for me to move on
'Cause I felt this way so long.
But it's not easy for me to see you
Pull away.
And you can't stand by your life
And let it slip you by.
And I'm not too young to know
This isn't right.
And all the pieces you left behind
Here in my hands, and over time
They'll put themselves back,
And it won't include you.
It won't include you.
I come home to an empty house,
But I don't feel empty anymore.
And the memory of you is getting smaller,
And fading away.
And I'm finding more of me
With each day that I'm alone.
Feeling much more like myself
Than ever before.
And you can't stand by your life
And let it slip you by.
And I'm not too young to know
This isn't right.
And all the pieces you left behind
Here in my hands, and over time
They'll put themselves back,
And it won't include you.
It won't include you.
