[Verse 1]
I had to leave because everyone looked like you
Should that not affect me?
I just had to go when they all started quoting you
Should that not upset me?
In the door you stood, wrapped in your favorite dress
You love your own slinky frame and the halo above your head
Am I to blame for this funeral setting?
Only in dreams do I have trouble forgetting
[Verse 2]
On a white bed with lily white sheets
We reintroduced ourselves
You seemed fine and didn't seem to mind my fountain pen eyes
When I woke up, I called you crying
You're one of my closest friends
I'm accepting that with time
I hope you're not stained by the results of this bloodletting
Only in dreams do I have trouble forgetting
[Verse 3]
I pinned you down
Seedy and unromantic in my bedroom
Little did I know there were third-person photographs
An invisible camera man
They were posted on the walls of the place I live in
They decorate the halls, making me livid
I said, “I hate your finishing face, I told you I didn't like it”
Only in dreams, I somehow always manage to find it
[Ending]
Are my thoughts in the wrong place?
You can be honest
You don't ever have to lie to make me happy
No, you don't
Are my thoughts in the wrong place?
You can be honest
You don't have to be a liar to make me happy
No, you don't
I'll sulk anyway
Are my thoughts in the wrong place?
You can be honest
You don't ever have to lie to make me happy
No, you don't
I'll sulk anyway
And let these dreams seep into my days
I'll sulk anyway
