Five days in, I am all alone; everyone has gone
Flashing lights still gleam outside my window
And I don't think this food can really last me through the week
For a little bit, I thought you were coming back for me
But it seems there's something else you left behind here
For a little bit, I thought you'd have saved one gasping breath
'Cause there's not much air down here on these broken marble streets
If only we'd have known -
There might be someone else out there in the cold; just maybe
I could make a run for it; how long would I last?
Well I don't know; it's worth a shot
Or would I rather stay and rot away?
When you see me on the train
Feel my heart break in your hands
I am only yours for now
Then the fleeting moment’s passed
When you kissed your world goodnight
I knew you’d be gone for good
I don’t know just who you are
But I won’t be missing you
