Bedside Lies
Is it better to be faithful
Or better to be loved?
But we never see things your way
So we might as well give up
I've been trying out forgiveness
But it's left a bitter taste
I used to choke on your decisions
While you fight to save your face
Another man could love you
And the taste of it seem pure
Though fleeting and forgotten
It's left you empty like before
It's taken time
Forgetting's that easy
Cause they're happy now
And you're still lying on the floor
I never thought
That this would be easy
'Cause you know I've tried
But I can't
No, I can't do this anymore
You speak as though you're able
To live a life now without love
Surround yourself with neighbours
Who never give a damn
You've learnt the names of people
Though they never learnt your own
Too busy with themselves to notice
Or ever write it down
It's taken time
Forgetting's that easy
Cause they're happy now
And you're still lying on the floor
I never thought
That this would be easy
'Cause you know I've tried
But I can't
No, I can't do this anymore
