I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's no one else
-5
No one else
I reach for the light, it shines above my head
-5 /
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light, it shines across the room
-5 /
And brings to mind what might have been
I tell myself I'm better off no one can hurt me now
I see your crumpled photograph it makes me laugh out loud
Laugh out loud
When I wish I could forget how good you looked tonight
When you smiled at me and walked away with him (oh... oh, no!)
I reach for the light
-5 /
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off, no one can hurt
me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumbled photograph, it makes me
laugh out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's
no one else
