Lyrics:

Things fell apart
When you moved
The bed in our room

No more dusty photos of our moms
No more elevator songs
No more with you

No more holding hands, arms or elbows
Touching knees
In a dark room filled with body heat

And I never thought
That eyes so blue
Could love me, too

A dark haired goon
Who guffaws and not laughs
All double chin, hard punches and pants

But there're no lies,
No silence,
And no science to what I want

It's only sad
If you believed your life
Should have gone one such way

It only hurts
Because I saw how it could be
And it looked great

I think you want
Something more than I can give you
But that's okay, baby
