I'm Not Here

You could turn the blinds
Slam the door shut
It doesn't stop the blood from dripping on the floor
You could run the tap
Watch the bubbles glisten
It doesn't wash the stain off your Brooks Brothers

So burn the sweet Lucy in the air
Flicker all the scarlet lights to green
Run your fingers down my pretty hair
Doesn't mean you didn't cause me painful twisted dreams

Slipped through the cracks
Caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe I'm chilling high by the bleachers
Don't be surprised
Oh boy, kiss me goodbye
Oh babe, please tell me how the pain hurts
Oh why would you care, I'm not here
But now that you're here I'm not here
Slipped through the cracks
Caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe, I'm chilling high by the bleachers

Cover your ears and close your eyes
Doesn't mend the holes you punched through the walls
Don't you cry about it, don't complain about it
You reap the seeds you sow, hey, I told you so

So burn the sweet Lucy in the air
Flicker all the scarlet lights to green
Run your fingers down my pretty hair
Doesn't mean you didn't cause me painful twisted dreams

Slipped through the cracks
Caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe I'm chilling high by the bleachers
Don't be surprised
Oh boy, kiss me goodbye
Oh babe, please tell me how the pain hurts
Oh why would you care, I'm not here
But now that you're here I'm not here
Slipped through the cracks
Caught up in your own tracks
Oh babe, I'm chilling high by the bleachers

Now cuz I'm not here
You need me
Now cuz I'm not near
You appear
You broke down in tears
Oh my dear
And now I'm indifferent
