I'm Wasting Away Since You Left

Intro

Empty fridge and a faded note on the door

Wallet thin, can't afford the diner no more [Intro]

Empty fridge and a faded note on the door

Wallet thin, can't afford the diner no more,

Ressipees lost to the passing of days

Counting dimes and the ways love slipped away

Verse 0

I don't know how to fix up a plate

Microwave blinking, I'm stuck in this state

The kettle whistles but nothing feels right

Just boiling water, another long night

Verse 1

Since you left I’m wasting away, clothes loose on my frame

Counting my pennies, skipping cafés, can’t even splurge on takeout today

Buttons on the microwave, staring back like a code

Dinner’s just hot water, loneliness served up slow

Pre-Chorus

My thoughts drift off, smoke in the air

Set off the alarm, no one’s there

Cold coffee sips as the morning begins

Breakfast is simple, but I just can’t win

Chorus

Since you left it's just coffee gone cold

Breakfast of grits and oatmeal in a bowl

Can't push the buttons I need on that microwave

Just me and the kettle, trying to be brave

Post-Chorus

Oh, I can only boil water, that's all I'll do

Oh, these days are harder without you

Verse 2

Don’t trust the clock, I drift and stray

Soon as I look away, supper goes up in flames

PBJ for lunch, 'cause that’s all I know

No appetite for cooking, just missing you so

Pre-Chorus

Pop tarts or crackers, whatever's at hand

Sugar for energy, that's my plan

Chorus

Since you left it's just coffee gone cold

Breakfast of grits and oatmeal in a bowl

Can't push the buttons I need on that microwave

Just me and the kettle, trying to be brave

Post-Chorus

Oh, I can only boil water, that's all I’ll do

Oh, these days are harder without you

Bridge

Night falls and the kitchen’s still cold

Stale bread and memories never get old

Trying to laugh at the mess I've become

Dinner for one, I just come undone

Chorus

Since you left it's just coffee gone cold

Breakfast of grits and oatmeal in a bowl

Can't push the buttons I need on that microwave

Just me and the kettle, trying to be brave

Post-Chorus

Oh, I can only boil water, that's all I’ll do

Oh, these days are harder without you

Outro

Lunch meat and ramen to get me through

Empty seat at the table, missing you

Someday I’ll learn more than just boiling water

But tonight I just wish you were here too [Verse 1]

Since you left I’m wasting away, clothes loose on my frame

Counting my pennies, skipping cafés, can’t even splurge on takeout today

Buttons on the microwave, staring back like a code

Dinner’s just hot water, loneliness served up slow

Pre-Chorus

My thoughts drift off, smoke in the air

Set off the alarm, no one’s there

Cold coffee sips as the morning begins

Breakfast is simple, but I just can’t win

Chorus

Since you left it's just coffee gone cold

Breakfast of grits and oatmeal in a bowl

Can't push the buttons I need on that microwave

Just me and the kettle, trying to be brave

Oh, these days are harder without you
