Emotional Bachelor

I remember you lying there
Right through your teeth
Always pretended I didn't care
Which was too easy
Caught in the fading light
Of the TV flickering

Right then I made a decision
One which I would not keep
To only be with somebody else
For whom I feel something

Just give me the benefit of my doubts
Don’t hold them against me
Heavy as they are
They still feel lighter than honesty

Last week on commonwealth
I saw you walking by
But it was someone else
I still waved and smiled

And so I think of a way
To get back in touch
But it's 3am
I asked if you want to get lunch

I'm tired of waking up in debt
To the night before
Just wondering how broke I can feel
Till I’m emotionally poor

Like when you did not get an invite
To a party you would've skipped
I saw you with your boyfriend
The night after we kissed

And then in Harvard Square
I saw you walking by
But I was unprepared
And barely recognized
I couldn't help but stare
Something did not feel right
Realized we'd never seen
Each other in daylight

So then you thought of a way
To get back in touch
Now it's 3am
And I'm half past drunk
