To Be the One

[Verse 1]
Well the pills I got, they ask me
"Let's go out for a while"
And the knives up in the kitchen
Are all too dull to smile

[Verse 2]
Yeah, and the sun, it tries to warn me
"Boy, those wings are made of wax"
While the things I do to kill me
They just tell me to relax

[Verse 3]
But oh, Cinderella
All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms
I'm not the fellow
To protect you or to keep you from all your harm

[Chorus]
And I don't know which is worse
To wake up and see the sun
Or to be the one, be the one that's gone

[Verse 4]
And the empty bottle, it misses you
Yeah, and I'm the one that it's talking to
And with you and I just barely strangers
I'm pretty much just left a fool

[Verse 5]
Damn, don't the streets feel empty, though?
Just wandering 'round here without you
Oh, the empty bottle, it misses you
And I'm the one it's talking to

[Chorus]
And I don't know which is worse
To wake up and see the sun
Or to be the one, be the one that's gone
