The Next Morning.

Waking up on tangled sheets
Wondering if last night was a dream
Was it you, or was it just me
Thinking again about how we could've been

I can still feel the ghost of you upon my skin
Lingering, soft and light
And we both know that what you said last night
You could never really mean

Empty promises, meaningless words
You threw them around just like they were just that
You had me captivated, hooked to you
Even though what you say more ensured you a place in my heart

Remember when you said I would never mean more to you
Please tell me that you lied to me
Please tell me those words weren't true

Now after you crash from your high
Tell me what do you see
After I gave you what you wanted
Will you finally leave me

Don't start again with your bullshit
Don't tell me how much you love me
After all it's me who needs you
Now can't you just let me be

Now that you're off your high
Tell me, do you still see me?
After I lied about what I want
Will this finally set me free?
