Woke up this morning with a knot in my chest

Washed my face and hands and then I got dressed

Open the door to another new day

I'm burning inside when we got nothing to say

Walk down the street and get in my car

How many times have we gone this far

I could turn around and make the pain all go away

Just pick up that phone, please ask me to stay

Ask me to stay

I can still feel your breath on the back of my neck

Cold and lonely, I'm nothing but down

I' so tired I'm falling in on closing lids

There ain't enough caffeine in the world to get me going

Just turn on your light, call out my name
