Your Side of the Bed

Intro — Quiet, almost spoken

You still up?

...Never mind.

Verse 1

I know you got my messages muted

You always do that when you're trying to move on

Funny, you were never good at ignoring me

Just good at acting like nothing was wrong

I drove past your apartment yesterday

Not on purpose, I was coming from the west side

At least that's what I'm telling myself

I don't know why I feel like I gotta justify it

Your new guy got a face I recognize

Think I've seen him somewhere, maybe not

You look happy in the pictures that you post

I wonder if you know how fake that sounds

I'm not mad at you

That's what I keep telling everybody

But I get a little quiet when they bring you up

And everybody knows why

Pre-Chorus

You don't gotta answer

I just wanted to hear your voice

I know I don't get to ask for that

I know I made my choice

Chorus

It's 2:17, I'm still awake

Your side of the bed still feels the same

I tell myself I don't want you back

Then I see your name and forget all that

You don't even gotta say you miss me

Just don't act like you never knew me

I can live with you being gone

I just hate how easy you make it look

Verse 2

Found your earrings in the bathroom drawer

I almost threw them out last week

Then I put them right back where they were

Like they mean something to me

My mother asked about you Sunday

I told her we don't talk no more

She said, "That's a shame, I liked that girl"

I changed the subject, washed the plates

I guess that's what I do now

Change the subject when it gets too close

You used to say I had a way of making

Everybody feel like they were on their own

I thought you were being dramatic

Now I hear it in the things I say

I don't know if that makes me a bad person

Or just somebody who learned too late

Bridge — Beat drops to bass and soft keys

If I called you right now

Would you pick up?

Don't answer that.

I think I'd rather wonder

Than find out you don't care enough.

And that's probably the worst thing about me.

I still need to feel like there's a chance.

Final Chorus — Soft harmonies, restrained delivery

It's 2:17, I'm still awake

Your side of the bed still feels the same

I tell myself I don't want you back

Then I see your name and forget all that

You don't even gotta say you miss me

Just don't act like you never knew me

I can live with you being gone

I just hate how easy you make it look

Outro — Phone vibration, music fading

...Yeah.

I wasn't gonna call you anyway.
