you know I love to hear your news
but lately it's been so hard to hear

you're in your bed with some married dude
and I can't find a way to lift you clear

yeah I know it's not the same
but I thought that I could
tame your lonely days

the night I talked you through to sleep
I thought that I could help you keep

from falling further down with him
I guess the slope was just too steep

yeah I know it's not the same
but I thought that I could
tame your lonely days
