should've waited but I had to call you,
please excuse my terrible etiquette.
purity's been tainted by what's untrue,
light a cigarette and try to forget

is being numb the only way to go?
laying asleep in a hospital bed,
when can I go home? I may never know,
but what's a home when you're lost in your head?

I called you thirteen minutes after three,
after midnight, and you didn't answer.
tired and worn out and no one can see,
me loving you spreads through me like cancer

I know that I cannot beg you to stay,
but I hope that we'll meet again someday
