9am

Looking out my doorway, the day looks kinda grey,
It’s only 5am.
Rain and dark skies, the way I feel inside,
Will it ever end?

The world still turns and I will never learn,
So I’m right back here again.
But there’s much to do, no time for missing you.
Well, maybe now and then.

And you don’t own me, and I don’t owe you,
That’s just the way it ends.
And you don’t owe me, and I don’t own you.
There’s nothing left to mend.

Staring at your picture, and I already miss you.
It’s only 9am.
Laughter and memories, you were perfect for me,
I never wanted it to end.

The clock ticks away, every minute, every day,
And starts all over again.
But there’s much to do, no time for missing you.
Well, maybe now and then.

And you don’t own me, and I don’t owe you,
That’s just the way it ends.
And you don’t owe me, and I don’t own you.
There’s no need to pretend.

Getting home late, swing open the gate.
It’s only 5pm.
The day is done, I’m just getting home,
Right back here again.

Dishes pile in the sink, too much time to think,
So I have one more drink.
There’s nothing else to do, so I lay here missing you,
Wondering who was to blame.

But you don’t own me, and I don’t owe you,
That’s just the way it ends.
And you don’t owe me, and I don’t own you.
Right back where we began.

But you don’t own me, and I don’t owe you,
That’s just the way it ends.
And you don’t owe me, and I don’t own you.
It’s too late to start again.

Looking out my doorway,
The sky looks kinda grey,
It’s only 10pm.
