You left your jacket hanging by the door Like you had plans to wear it here again I used to take it with me when it got cold Now I leave it there for when this ends You said you missed me, never said you’re sorry I heard the part I wanted to God, I made it so damn easy To come back without choosing me too I’d stay awake to hear your key You’d slip out while I was asleep You only want me when you’re lonely Only hold me till you’re fine Soon as I need you to know me You say you need a little time I’ve been leaving every light on You’ve been leaving every time You only want me when you’re lonely And I’m lonely all the time Your name lit up beside my bed last Friday I watched it till the room went dark I knew the way that conversation would go A little drink, a little “where you are?” I almost answered just to hear you breathing Almost asked you how you’d been Then I pictured Sunday morning Me waking up, you gone again I put the phone down on the floor Still lay there listening for the door You only want me when you’re lonely Only hold me till you’re fine Soon as I need you to know me You say you need a little time I’ve been leaving every light on You’ve been leaving every time You only want me when you’re lonely And I’m lonely all the time I wish I didn’t miss your body I wish this bed just felt like mine I’m so fucking tired of knowing What I’ll do if you arrive So I left your jacket with your brother Couldn’t watch you put it on I knew I’d ask you for another Night before I let you go You only want me when you’re lonely Only hold me till you’re fine Soon as I need you to know me You say you need a little time So I’m turning off the porch light Though I’ll miss you here tonight You only want me when you’re lonely I can’t love enough for both sides I’ll be lonely for a little while At least I won’t be waiting up tonight
