…calls him every day,
he took a kind of vacation,
was heading for something,
won’t leave her alone

twice in every way,
they lead a life you could forget now,
it wouldn’t be the last time,
it better be the first time.

so she won’t sleep better alone,
and he won’t sleep better alone,
no they won’t feel better alone.

they took the time to reflect
even as the competition
is breathing every day.

on top of a jealous home
she feels she could connect it
he was an opinionated fool
he couldn’t just pretend that she was there in the next room.

so they won’t sleep better alone,
and she won’t sleep better alone,
and he won’t feel better alone.

so she won’t sleep better alone,
and he won’t feel better alone,
no they won’t feel better alone…
(alone …)

every tie is gonna break,
so they said you were a fake

don’t try
don’t try
don’t try, you’ll never win,
and you can never be him.

so you won’t feel better alone,
and they won’t sleep better alone,
no they won’t feel better alone.

so she won’t sleep feel alone,
and they won’t sleep better alone,
and they won’t feel better alone…
(alone…, alone…, alone…)

calls him every day.
