It was the thirteenth of November
To this day I still remember
The way the moonlight glinted off your hair
It was the last time that I saw you
And I told you that you ought to
Think about what you wanted from me
When I lay down at night
Sometimes I can't even dream no more
'Cause when I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door.
It was two years before, December
When that flame was first an ember
Your darkened eyes would brighten at my face.
You said my time's your greatest healer
And that you were a believer
At the top of the world we would take our place.
But now I lay down at night
And sometimes I can't even dream no more
'Cause when I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door.
Remember
That night you said that you would die for me?
Remember
How I would plea for a little less apathy?
When I lay down at night
I'm still beside you begging you for more.
When I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door.
She always had a temper
Maybe I should condemn her
But I can't live in perfect apathy
Her eyes have me indentured
It still feels like adventure
Just to be around her vanity
But now I lay down at night
And sometimes I can't even dream no more
'Cause when I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door.
Remember
That night you said that you would die for me?
Remember
How I would plead for a little less apathy?
When I lay down at night
I'm still beside you begging you for more.
When I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door.
They say "son you should surrender"
But you know I'm a contender
When it comes to being there for you
You tell me that you hate me
And say "you don't satiate me"
But it isn't like I've got much left to loose
'Cause I lay down at night
And sometimes I can't even dream no more
'Cause when I close my eyes
I watch your figure walk out of my door
