the waltz

please don't tell me where you slept last night
or how she whispered in your ear, and said everything just right.
i don't have the means to make my compliments contrived-
when i want your attention, i just look in your eyes

today will be the same
before you and me threw it all away
today will be the same
before you and me threw it all away

please don't tell me where you've been,
don't interrupt the dream i've been living in.
and don't tell me that you don't want me tonight
because you don't think i'd be right by morning light.
i know i'm the woman you fantasize about
not spending your entire life without.

take the points you earned for your honesty
and count them on your couch while you're missing me.
tell your stories to the emptiness you hold tight
so you can have something to sleep beside.

today will be the same
before you and me threw it all away
today will be the same
before you and me threw it all away

my time stretches miles beyond sight
without you interested in my life.
now how will i spend my lonely days
without you there to push away.
