lyrics

I wear loneliness well
throw it on like an old t-shirt
and I don't need anything else
safe, familiar sometimes hurt

Ooo, oo

Why do I shrink while you grow?
Tired of living in your shadow
How should I be?
Why don't you tell me?

I can't explain it
and I won't try
sometimes life
passes you by
well how should I be when it's half past 3 and I can't sleep, watching the tv talk

Well how should I be when I run into you on the street without a warning after all you broke my heart

Why do I shrink while you grow?
Tired of living in your shadow
How should I be?
Why don't you tell me?

I can't explain it
and I won't try
sometimes life
passes you by
well how should I be when it's half past 3 and I can't sleep, watching the tv talk

Ooo
