Good morning from this side of the bed
Hope you don’t notice that my pillow’s wet
I would ask how you’d like your breakfast made
But there’s no point coz all we have is bread
I wanna speak but my heart is heavy like lead
I wanna be close but I’ll blame it on the King size bed
It’s been a minute, or more like an age
Since this house didn’t feel like a cage
Sometimes I feel like I’m walking on a ledge
About to taste the other side of this life’s edge
Don’t get me wrong, I know you don’t care
At least we both have that fact in a square
I just feel the need to lay my heart bare
This used to be a home but now the warmth is all too rare
The only time we talk is when your socks are not in a pair
Or your shirt has a small tear
Honestly, I should change my title coz all I am is an ‘Au Pair’
Last night I was having a beer
While thinking about how you once were a dear
How at the time our feelings were clear
And how you enjoyed taking me from the rear
I miss when you were sincere
And when you’d tell me about your peers
About your plans and all your fears
When you’d take me out to dinner
And hold me through the night in winter
When you’d let me play with your weaner
And I’d let you eat my beaver
And you’d remind me that I make you a winner
Though your tongue was quite the sinner
You may not remember those days
They lost meaning when you changed your ways
At some point we all change our plays
When we get lost seeking out brighter days
At this point I can tell that those were my brighter days
Not that you care anyways
But I’ll miss them always
Like I’ll love you for the rest of my days
But at this point, it’s best we part ways
We could hook up over the holidays
But let’s not keep pretending that we’re okay
It’s too much to ask but it’s the only way
Unless you can tell me of a better way
Please say there’s a better way
