Back on the Shelf

It's half-past three
And I'm in the dark
Outside your house
Sitting in my car
It feels so strange
To be so alone
And now in bed
I think of you
And all these girls
They miss you too
Wide-open, they smile and say
"She belongs to another day
Just put yourself back on the shelf
And say goodbye"

And still I hope
Against all hope
That life can be
More than a joke
But look at me
What I've become
And with the knife
We used to use
I cut myself
And pretend it's you
Blood smears on bathroom tiles
I hurt and remember your smile
I put myself back on the shelf
And say goodbye
