I don't want for you to stay tonight take your things and go
your distance is just hurtful and I'd rather be alone
I am worth more than this
you always seem to need your space
I said you always need your space
so get the fuck out of my place
I do know that I love you though I swear I don't know how
sometimes you play me with your fingers and my body comes unwound
but I am old enough
to take a bruise or two
I said to take a bruise or two
I have grown tired of missing you
so don't come back when you think of me don't come back for my company
you talk to me in circles and the charm has become worn
don't come back when you change your mind don't come back when you realize
you've used up all your chances I won't do this anymore
every time I watch you pull away I crawl out of my skin
and there will come a time when I'll no longer let you in
I watch tv
until the late night screen turns blue
I said the late night screen is blue
I have grown tired of missing you
so don't come back when you think of me don't come back for my company
you talk to me in circles and the charm has become worn
don't come back when you change your mind don't come back when you realize
you've used up all your chances I won't do this anymore
there are starlings on the roof there are earwigs in the sink
there is a fixture and a pull chain but the light is getting weak
you have the nerve to ask
why I don't come by anymore
well I don't come by anymore
because my heart's nailed to the floor
your eyes sparkle like minnows darting off into the sea
I should like to fall inside but for your drowning company
you loved me hard
loved me so hard you made me swoon
loved me so hard you made me swoon
I have grown tired of missing you
so don't come back when you think of me don't come back for my company
you talk to me in circles and the charm has become worn
don't come back when you change your mind don't come back when you realize
you've used up all your chances I won't do this anymore
