lyrics

While you’ve been asleep
I’ve been thinking we should part.
You’re not playing for keeps,
You’re just sometimes afraid of the dark.
I’d advise you get a nightlight
Cos I’m really much too old
For this game of now you need me,
Now you don’t.

I come from the street,
You hear danger,
I see life.
I’m a strange, little freak,
I’m all the things that your momma won’t like.
I’m no prize but I am priceless
And I’m really much too old
For this game of now you need me,
Now you don’t.

The fear of being alone
Ain’t reason enough for me to stay.
I really thought we belonged
Now I see it’s all a game
Of now you need me,
Now you don’t.

While you’ve been asleep
I’ve been thinking,
Let’s call time.
There’s no fight left in me,
I just lie here night after night.
If I died would you miss me
Or look for the next poor soul
Who’ll agree to say you love him
Though you don’t?

The fear of being alone
Ain’t reason enough for me to stay.
