Dearly Missed

It's nothing
A trick of the light at the poolside
Not the night that was promised
A pretty good view, though
You probably grew up being dishonest

What else could you do, though?
It's all that you knew
What happened in August?
A change in the mood when they look at you
Not enough that you noticed
But what else do you do in the dark room?

If I sell you out
Is it so bad
That you're still asking if she hates you now?
Slow down
Kicking and screaming
I really need you to help yourself

You know me
Well, you think that you do
'Cause I know you, I smile politely
You are a small bird, I'm a cat on the loose
Likely to get what you wanted
I should've just known it, you look so happy
You're waiting for no one, and I follow you home

I'd sell you out
Is it so bad
That you're still asking if she hates you now?
Slow down
Kicking and screaming
I really need you to help yourself

She answers in the pouring rain
"I just don't love you," but it sounds the same
As every answer in the plan, he made
I say his name
And just by some sort of coincidence
He drove his car off of the river bridge
They never found him, and they haven't since
He's dearly missed

I sell you out
Is it so bad?
Are you still asking if she hates you now?
Slow down
Kicking and screaming
I really need you to help yourself
