lyrics

It's 2 am
and I'm nearly out of wine
the ghost of you is still lingering
in this house

Your sheets are on the table
your clothes are on the bed
I guess I should've played my cards
a little better

but you knew things were going this way
and I'll admit I was lonely
I'll admit I was troublesome
but you knew things were going this way

I drove all night
just to hold you
sometimes words are not the thing
we really need

it's not fair
I don't care what you're thinking
a story just cannot end this way

I know who you are
a year is quite some time
almost no make up
but a heart to conceal

your lies start to ignite
in the cold december fog
but my heart's already burnt

but my heart's already burnt
and I'll admit I was lonely
I'll admit I was troublesome
but you knew things were going this way
once again.

(chorus)

I told you the whole truth
there's no way I could have lied
if you don't believe me still
it's your fault, and not mine.

I hope that you'll be happy
with the life you've chosen
I'm writing this
as my life insurance.

Just in case you think I'm lying
just in case you think I'm a fool
You promised me we would have married
Well, I guess that you were lying

but you knew things were going this way.
and you know things will never be the same.
and you know...what do you know?
