Do you strengthen your resolve,
every time I leave
leave you strung out on the couch,
hearing her but wanting me

in a cold, forgiving tone
do you find the time to care
do you swear to work it out
with someone who isn't there?

does she hold you while you sleep,
does she try to make you love?
So then why come back to me
for what never is enough?
