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
