you always said that if i'm a star then you're a constellation
but the sky is burnt out
and we're just going through the motions
you've got this mile wide smile that follows you
and lights up rooms
i'm getting sick and tired of waiting in the dark

tell me you need some time alone
tell me you need some room to breathe
and i'll be on my way

and if you need to find me i'll be wandering the streets
dining alone at all our favorite places to eat
and drinking alone waiting on the phone to ring
i hope whatever is in this bottle leaves me brave enough to sleep

tell me you need some time alone
tell me you need some room to breathe
and i'll be on my way

then i'll walk on and you'll just say
that feelings fail and people change
and we'll pretend when we meet that we're better off as friends

lipstick smiles touched to parting lips
we'll be alright...
one last time, not unlike the last time
we'll be alright
