Every night I saw you there
In your old wicker chair
Singing, ooh
You were wrong, I was right
Didn't matter in a fight
Said, ooh

Coffee mug filled it up
Always knew what it was
Sing, ooh
Been on your side for years
You could never love without crying, ooh

Is she dead? Is she fine?
Every day, every night

Fate has dealt me a
Lonely blow, I said
Ooh
Tried to help, but only hurt
In the end I made it worse
Ooh

Is she dead? Is she fine?
Every day, every night

Give back my keys, give back my chair
Take back those clothes you always left on the floor

You drove me wild, drove me insane
Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name
All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time
Finally I could see you as the leader of the landslide

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
Please believe me, I smell the alcohol
The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep

You blamed it all on your kids
We were young, we were innocent
You told me a lie, f*ck you for that
F*ck all your pride and f*ck all your prayers

And all this time I waited for a fool and for the first
Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall
Please believe me, don't answer when she calls
The only thing I know is that we're in too deep
And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep

Out there on my own I was feeling so alone
Like a poltergeist in the afterlife
Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees
In the aftermath of this broken glass

Oh
Oh
Oh
