 I've been  obviously  on the verge of a mental  breakdown this week
 Stuck between  your dirty sheets  and back-lit memories
 And I've been putting  off things  like getting my shit  out of your apartment
 I've been making  up excuses  about the things  that you might need
 And I've been trying  to find  out where everyone's  been
 But they're nowhere  and I'm  nothing
 And I've been trying  to stay  as busy  as I  can
 I finally  broke  on Christmas Eve
 In an Outback  Steakhouse bathroom  while my family  ordered for  me
 Haven't been losing sleep,  no I pass  out almost instantly
 The bad  dreams get worse every  week
 I think  I'm losing a little  of me
I'm  getting better, but it's  in small  steps
I'm  working on sleeping  on the left
I  just can't blame  New York for this
 And so I'm  down again, but this  time it's different
 I'm  mourning something  that I miss
And  that's better than being  hopeless
