[Verse]
Sometimes I wish it could drown my thoughts
I can see myself well at the end of this glass
Forgetting is fine but the night doesn't last
And really, I don't know you at all
And when I wake I lay next to the mess
The one that you started and the one that I left
The one circling, waiting, for its prey to die
You never wanted to know me at all
[Pre-Chorus 1]
How couldn't I see?
How could I have been so naive?
I should have accepted that nothing is safe
Nothing is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I pay with my cents
My thoughts, and my worries
Eager to spend them at once
You said I look tense, and left in a hurry
As all my wits became numb
[Chorus]
As I became no one, no one
After all, I'm the one that you call when there was
No one, no one
Only to leave when you're done
[Bridge]
I feel like the leaves on the ground that you step on in Autumn
I feel like debris from the bough that has sunk to the bottom
I feel like the streets of a town that were left and forgotten
I feel like the seeds of the flowers that died
Before they blossomed
[Chorus]
As I became no one, no one
After all, I'm the one that you call when there was
No one, no one
Only to leave when you're done
