My Other Half

I never knew just how ugly I was Until my other half walked away Light a candle for the beauty I had Before I lost my place I hear my footsteps in the hall Maybe I'm ugly after all And maybe I'll sleep again someday (Or...maybe I won't) I never knew just how silent I was 'Til you kicked me in the teeth Write me a song for the man I was Before I lost my beat I used to dance like the world was gone But then I lost my feet I wouldn't blame you if you put me down Just please, make it sweet I hear your voice in every call Maybe I'm lonely after all And maybe I'll sleep again someday When your footsteps go away So here I am, a swerving mess Both of my arms pressed to the gas And I'm drawing charcoal on the road Can't see the stop sign for the tears Can't see my heartache past my fears So I guess it's time to go If I can't have my other half Can I at least take back those years Can't take the timing anymore I guess I'm still breathing So I'll be right here waiting With all the pictures and the notes I held onto with a hope Maybe you'd change your mind Maybe you'd change your mind Maybe you'd change your mind (I hear your voice in every call, maybe I'm lonely after all) Maybe you'd change your mind (And maybe I'll sleep again someday, when your footsteps go away)
