Bursting with empathy, I'm feeling everything The weight of the world on my shoulders Hope my tears don't freak you out They're just kinda coming out It's the music in me and all of the colours Wish we didn't live Wish we didn't live so far from each other I'm just sitting here Thinkin' 'bout the time that's slipping And missing my mother Mother And she's probably sitting there Thinking 'bout the time that's slipping And missing her mother Mother

I pick those tomatoes we grew off the vine They look out the window, just killing time I reach for the phone just to make sure it's on And I'm fine I put on my makeup for no one at all My heels on the hardwood echo down the hall And I open the wardrobe, put my face in your clothes And I'm fine I try to sleep, I just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine Just like the circus, you always leave town I can't help but cry when that big top comes down But I leave the light on and when you get back home We'll be fine And I'll try to sleep but just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine They always say you don't get to choose The same old cliché, love chooses you So, baby, I'll wait just like I always do And I'll try to sleep, but just lie here awake I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days 'Til you're back in this bed that I remake every time And if they ask, I'll say I'm fine Hmm, hmm
