giving up my whole life
i sold my soul up the road
for a Carole king vinyl
im gonna lay on the floor
and sing along in denial
i pretend you still love me
and it’s not too late
make believe that i’m not free
that i have two dinners to plate
but i’m eating alone tonight
after giving up my whole life
to household chores
to let myself be yours
i cleaned out the car
of your old cigarettes
and i drove to the bar
to drink and try to forget
i pretend that you’ll come in and see
me leaving on the broken jukebox
i dream you’re coming home with me
that there’s still time on our clock
but i’m sleeping alone tonight
after giving up my whole life
to finding you cures
and letting myself be yours
it doesn’t matter how hard i pretend
you’re not here when the night ends
i’m not what you want anymore
so i’ll be alone tonight and forevermore
