Although you think I am sleeping as you get set to leave
I can see your shadow packing from underneath my sleeve
I swore I would never live without your constant company
Tomorrow´s empty bedroom would be the death of me
Times you tried to tell me today was not our day
Would see me in a fury or begging you to stay
When you told me there was someone else, self-pity filled my mind
Mocking my assurance & leaving sense behind
I will keep the changes to myself - no chance that you will respond
So clear was my reflection - I could not see beyond
And now you will go & maybe so, I will always be the same
Well thanks for looking in on me, I am really glad you came
Now theres both sets of keys on the dresser & only one pair of shoes on the floor
Of the cases on top of the cupboard - theres two where there used to be four
Some sizable gaps in the bathroom & your presence is felt all the more
Although you think I am sleeping as you get set to leave
I can see your shadow packing from underneath my sleeve
And there you go & yes I know, I will always be the same
Well thanks for looking in on me - I am really glad you came
Cos it was good, wasn´t it?
