lyrics

Don't say "It's gonna be an awful year"
I didn't even know you were here
as you tiptoed through the house
a white dress flowing down

In my
greatest misconceptions of the way I appear when you speak
I know its your job to keep me happy and I'll think
Of times we could be laughing as you speak

With
No harsh words and eye contact
Love without commitment
I don't want to stay this old
I don't want our marriage

But
You seem happier with me around
so I guess I'll see this through

Don't say "You didn't even know I was here"
I know you hear every word in the house
I know that every thought that I think
will be compared to our vows

In my
vaguest understanding of the way this typically works
I know to smile at all of your clever remarks
Never wondering why you wont make

No harsh words and eye contact
Love without commitment
I don't want to stay this old
I don't want our marriage

But
You seem happier with me around
and if I can't turn my life around maybe
You can take whats left of me
and build me into something good
someone who won't spurn each chance to care for you and won't talk back or say "I miss when we had

No harsh words and eye contact
Love without commitment
I don't want to stay this old
I regret our marriage"

But you
