Slumber

Does your mother wonder how I've been For the sake of conversation? "Is he alright? Is he okay?" "What's he up to now these days?" So do you tell her how? I bet you tell her how You'd rather talk about something else Like that better boy that makes you proud More well suited, more well spoken, so much more than me He's so much more than me Don't get me so wrong You've got me so wrong This sorry slumber's turning into Another nightmare I'll have about you Talking 'bout how you deserve The happiness I'll never earn Does your mother wonder how I've been For the sake of conversation? Could you tell her that I’ve grown up She won't know you made it all up So do you tell her how? I bet you tell her how I just do it for attention Confessing candor, I need to confide in Someone safer, someone saner, someone other than me You weren't there for me Don't got me so wrong You've got me so wrong This sorry slumber's turning into Another nightmare I'll have about you Talking 'bout how you deserve The happiness I'll never earn Always felt this way, haven't you Said enough? It seems I've been through More than I ever deserved The happiness I'll never earn I lost today But I’ll try for tomorrow Nothing to say But I’ll say more tomorrow Be good now Be good now Be good for goodness sake In and out of love Out of control Guess it didn't ever matter Guess it didn't ever matter I lost today But I'll try for tomorrow I'll try for tomorrow I'll say more tomorrow
