At My Expense

Nights getting longer and days getting shorter
In me's a monster my lie's out of order
How you can live alone at my expense
Well you didn't wanna live with me it all makes sense

I'm sorry saying this but there's no desire now
For me to continue there's nothing to cry about
I will not let you shed a tear over me
And I will not be swaying you if you were gonna leave

I guess it wasn't meant to be after all
I'm pacing round the paint and try to understand it all
There's so much that I'll see if I would hold on
You're pitching me a dream that I'm just not sold on

So what if I miss the parties and weddings
Why get upset about the path I've been heading
You couldn't prevent it all the hurt was unforeseen
But you will not forget it I'm another casualty

Nights getting longer and days getting shorter
In me's a monster my lie's out of order
How you can live alone at my expense
Well you didn't wanna live with me it all makes sense

I'm sorry saying this but there's no desire now
For me to continue there's nothing to cry about
I will not let you shed a tear over me
And I will not be swaying you if you were gonna leave

Candles light up the walkway
There's no such thing as always
Even the brightest flame will burn out too
And even the kindest face will hurt you too

Nights getting longer and days getting shorter
In me's a monster my lie's out of order
How you can live alone at my expense
Well you didn't wanna live with me it all makes sense

I'm sorry saying this but there's no desire now
For me to continue there's nothing to cry about
I will not let you shed a tear over me
And I will not be swaying you if you were gonna leave
