I know you're probably sick

Of always sorting me out

It's like I've always got the taste

Of orange nails in my mouth

I know you're probably exhausted

Cause I haven't slept a wink in a week

Your father doesn't like me

Cause I'm not into sports

And your mother won't approve

Because I'm not of the cross

I took an upper before your sister's wedding

Just to help me pretend

And I don't know what I need

I don't know if I'll be there for you

Down on your knees

I don't know if I'll be there for you

I know you always feel you're by yourself in the house

This is the only night this week I haven't slept on the couch

I hope you know it breaks my heart

That I'm the reason for your sleeping alone

Cause it was always a dream just to know you

Sometimes I find I can hardly speak your name

I know one day I'll come home and I'll find you

It's just a matter of time 'til you break from the strain

And I don't want to go outside

Don't want to make it home tonight

If it's not you in my heart

I don't want to carry it on

And I don't know what I need

(And I don't want to go outside)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(Don't want to make it home tonight)

Down on your knees

(If it's not you in my heart)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(I don't want to carry it on)

And I don't know what I need

(And I don't want to go outside)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(Don't want to make it home tonight)

Down on your knees

(If it's not you in my heart)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(I don't want to carry it on)
