Gone for a while

And then blink and revile

My old habits get confused.

They've been placating my mood

And selling me cheap solitude

But I've run out of reasons to pay.



Cause' I know you care

And I've grown so tired of not being there.

And I know you care

So I'm cutting off familiar happenings.



Conjuring up my melancholy

No that can't go on.

Certain my sadness was necessary

Oh I've been so wrong.

And all that distance that I dispatch won't ever help me feel less alone.



Stop all that dark and senseless brooding

Sing a different song.

Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,

Turn the camera off.

Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first

But I've been playing this role for too long.



Conjuring up our melancholy

No that can't go on.

Certain our sadness was necessary

Oh we've been so wrong.

And all that distance that we dispatch won't ever help us feel less alone.



Stop all that dark and senseless brooding

Sing a different song.

Don't get dramatic, this ain't the movies,

Turn the camera off.

Yeah, all that acting seemed fun at first

But we've been playing this role for too long.
