lyrics

Are you back home now?
Do you even care?
Did you come correct
Did you wash those blues
Out of your hair
Did you like how I
Said I wouldn't stare
And yet here I am
Like a spotlight shined
On your affairs

Like a thief, he's coming in the night
And turning on your lights, he's gotta lot of nerve
He's stealing your dreams and he's causing a scene
Got to give him what he deserves

Try not to be
E - motional
M - ade your choice gave it a chance and now
O - h I know you feel let down but

Try not to be

It wasn't all fiction
Feelings you cultivate
You didn't pyramid scheme
Variations of the mean
How much was fake
From a soft landing
You'd kiss him awake
To a sunspot beam
With friction in the seams
Until it would ache

Like a thief, he's coming in the night
And turning on your lights, he's gotta lot of nerve
He's stealing your dreams and he's causing a scene
Got to give him what he deserves

Try not to be
E - motional
M - ade your choice gave it a chance and now
O - h I know you feel let down but
T

L
Try not to be

On your own
For the first time you're on your own
