i woke up in my parent's bed
was the middle of the night
and i hope to god
that i cleaned up your mess
and i picked up my heart
was a thousand pieces less than it ever was
everything everything everything's gonna change when [bad word] for you
they may write you letters
and they may say i'm sorry
but you can't believe them if they won't be with you

and i learned that night
i'm a perfect fit
put my arms underneath the arch of your neck
and i pray, oh god, you were joking with me
when you said "baby, oh baby, i'm leaving"
everything everything everything's gonna change when [bad word] for you
they may write you letters
they may say i'm sorry
but you can't believe them if they won't be with you

no no no, i can't take it anymore
this ain't me, i gotta tell you
you were just shelter from the rain
i used you like a whiskey can
keep me [bad word] 'til he writes me again
oh brother, oh brother, oh brother
will you stay the night with me
keep me warm 'til my headache is gone
and then leave when i ask you to leave
