I can’t go home tonight
there’s too many things to hide
too many rules to break
might as well wait
for sunrise

I can’t face you in the morning
so I’ll wait all day
maybe you’ll simmer
or maybe boil over
either way
I’ll wait all day

I won’t answer your call
I can’t see you at work
find me on my break and
I’ll break away from you
I don’t want to talk
I want to hide it all
don’t force it out
I’ll hold this in my mouth

secrets secrets secrets
shredding my head and chest
if you want to know so bad
I should just give into it
and tell the truth

but I look at you
and you stare straight faced at me
and you don’t fucking see
it’s killing me...
loving you so much
--
it’s morning
but I don’t want it to be
the night
didn’t sit too right
I’m waiting in the kitchen
frying up our breakfast
and the sizzle
kills the silence
and I thank it
cause you really killed the mood
said “the sunrise came too soon”
and I realized
me and you
there’s no “we” in your eyes
one night for all time
that’s all you thought
but I know it’s not enough
and the eggs are almost done
so when I switch off the stove
the silence grows
it’s choking me slow
I’m breathing
but hardly enough for us both
to say what we want
so you talk
then you’re off
on your own way
