Appointment

The worst pain is not hearing I love you When you don't say it back after two years in the tracks That big stain on the couch I keep meaning To wash it bleach, can we set a date next week My heart breaks when you talk about attraction Can you keep that to yourself, anticipate my reaction But I can't stay mad for more than ten seconds I turn around to wipe my tears in your direction And I don't know where this came from This is the life that you and I created And just two hours before it all started You called me to check in I was in the car and You asked me what I needed I told you nothing But ask me today I need some lovin' You need some space I need some closeness We both need some help Let me make an appointment It's a cyclical thing, but the waiting's getting longer The events are spread out, but the truth is getting harder I've made a plan and I think that's the problem I'm trying to fix, what I can't even follow If it doesn't go away, babe I'm here for the ride Let me sit next to you, let me be by your side And it's not about the drinking this time It's the pain underneath, it's the cold world outside And I don't know where this came from This is the life that you and I created And just two hours before it all started You called me to check in I was in the car and You asked me what I needed I told you nothing But ask me today I need some lovin' You need some space I need some closeness We both need some help Let me make an appointment And it's hard not to feel like the victim this time Getting stepped on again, getting shoved out the side You're my best friend, you know, only my lover part-time And it hurts like hell, babe, it's like you've canceled the phone line And then you walk in the door, and I'm ready for you to apologize And then you fall on the couch, and I run to your side And I beg you to let me just hold you this time So I can sing you to sleep, wipe the tears from your eyes And I don't know where this came from This is the life that I thought we created And just two hours before it all started You called me to check in I was in the car and You asked me what I needed I told you nothing But ask me today I need some lovin' You need some space I need some closeness We both need some help Let me make an appointment
