I'm sorry I've waited much too long
I've been living out of bins
I've been sleeping in
I've been getting nothing done
So in our room, too small
I'll act unbearable
I'll change and lose my cool
Without a plan or pretense
I'll appear relentless, cowardly, and cold
But while you've been gone
I've been returning at all hours of the night
While you've been gone
I've been crossing fingers
That you have a nice flight back home
I'm sorry I haven't seemed so strong
Through a blanket of arguing, you'll see
It's not you, it's me
It's a list of excuses a mile long
But the bottom line here is I need out
Of this tired apartment creating resentment
And driving us apart
But while you've been gone
I've been returning at all hours of the night.
While you've been gone
I've been crossing fingers
That you have a nice flight back home.
