Verse 1

I took your pictures down and off the wall today

Every time I look at them I think of yesterday

 And I'm sorry but it's time I pack our life away

Verse 2

I thought about you when I made the bed today

The left pillow untouched where your head used to lay

 Don't be sorry, things will be better off this way

Chorus

Don't be afraid to say how it is

Don't be ashamed of crushing my dreams

Though I feel betrayed, I'm so glad I met you

Oh, oh, oh... (etc.)

Verse 3

This is the hardest thing I've had to just accept

Alcohol and cigarettes have filled the void you've left

 And I'm hungry but I think I'll stay in bed today

Chorus

Bridge

I still remember the first time I saw you

 We met because the Cake show was late

And you looked so beautiful

I had to come and ask your name

 I had to come and ask your name

Solo

Chorus

Outro

I never thought this was the way that this would end

Keep pinching myself hoping this was just a dream

 Hope life gets better... I will be rid of you someday
