Verse 1

  In the breathless hush of 4 A.M., in the dark sits a sad cliche

  Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

  Tell me how this came to be, sleeplessness talk to me

  She'd say over and over again

Verse 2

  Fumbling through a cut glass vase, passing lipstick cotton spools

  Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends

  You never asked to be the glutton of sympathy

  She says over and over that this is the end

Chorus 1

  'Cause I see it in your eyes

  What you don't know, time to let go

I see it in your eyes

  There is so much more out there to be learned

Verse 3

Such mournful words on this white snow vacant page

  All the lessons that she learns, she packs away

  Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?

  She writes over and over again

Chorus 2

  That's when I see it in your eyes

  What you don't know, time to let go

I see it in your eyes

  There is so much more out there to be learned

TRANSITION 1:

Bridge

  Tossing, turning, roll away

  Indecision, won't you ever make up your mind?

  Lifetime, night time, wake the day

  'Cause tomorrow will see

  If you've had your fill of sympathy

CHORUS/SOLO:

Outro

  Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?

  Don't you know the stars are all fading

  Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
