By The Bed - Phantom Planet

Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed

Oh, she seemed much happier then

I sat by her side, and I couldn’t help but cry

I was here for a reason, and I

Finally understood, and my, oh my

Could only ask myself «why, oh why?»

Can we talk this through and make things right?

Oh, I’d sure as hell like to try

Right about this time, she opened her eyes

And asked how long I had been there

Well, my tongue was tied

I said nothing, I just stared

She said: «Oh, I didn’t think you cared»

Well, I wasn’t ready for what

She said next, she said

«There is nothing else that you can do

No, you can’t understand what I go through

And if the world has changed;

well, I’ll be damned»

Oh, 'cause I’m no good at being brave

Not even on the better days

And there are things we can not save

Oh, no matter how hard we try

She said, «there is nothing else that you can do

No, you can’t understand what I go through

And if the world has changed;

well, you’ll do fine»

Oh, I tried, but no, I could not stand

I touched her with a trembling hand

I choked and could not say goodbye

Oh, no matter how hard I tried
