Its cold outside And the paints peeling off of my walls Theres a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out And I wonder what Im doing in a room like this Theres a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now Im alone Now I can think for myself About little deals and issues And things that I just dont understand Like a white lie that night Or a sly touch at times I dont think it meant anything to you
So I open the door Its the friend that I left in the hallway Please sit down. A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask But are friends electric? Only mines broke down And now Ive no one to love
So I found out your reasons For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts and Im lonely And I should never have tried And I miss you tonight So its time to leave You see it meant everything to me
