it seems not long ago you came around and made a home inside my chest
you made a friend in me and settled in and it was there you built your nest
you filled me up and overflowed me and eroded all my feeble walls
and in the end there was a hole so big I hardly knew you had come at all

but when i wake tomorrow, i do not think that you'll be there
and when the sun is setting i'll finally breathe in summer air
i will mourn your passing cause you've become a part of me
but when the morning breaks i think i'll finally be free

it's been ten years or maybe more of picking up the pieces that i blamed you for
every shard led back to you, i let myself depend on you but you were just an excuse
all i would ever amount to, completely indistinguishable from you
all i ever wanted to be, hidden underneath your sleeve, far beyond my reach

but when i wake tomorrow, i do not think that you'll be there
and when the sun is setting i'll finally breathe in summer air
i will mourn your passing cause you've become a part of me
but when the morning breaks i think i'll finally be free
