you left me crying at the train station
i left my rest ashore shirt at your house
you said you checked and that it wasn’t there
gave me some other girl’s jeans
i guess its ok now
and time
won’t erase the stripes i wear now
but maybe they’ll scar and
day after day i wonder if you ever thought twice
but this heartache, i’m done with it now
and your power, i’ve got it all figured out
it’s a sociopathic thing to pretend to love
day after day oh i sit and i wait
for an answer that i’ll never get
and day after day i remember the pain
you sighed and left, my face was still wet
you met me crying at the train station
you said you missed me but you lied to my face
i tried to reason with you but nobody
can convert a heart that isn’t in the right place
and this heartache, i’m done with it now
and your power, i’ve got it all figured out
it’s a sociopathic thing to pretend to love
day after day oh i sit and i wait
for an answer that i’ll never get
and day after day i remember the pain
you sighed and left, my face was still wet
day after day oh i sit and i wait
for an answer that i’ll never get
and day after day i remember the pain
i loved you, or did you forget

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
