A Typical Night

They’re fighting again
It’s a typical Sunday night
I can hear them scream
As I avoid the fight

So I sit in my room
All on my own
I can feel you here
But I’m still so alone

I’m cold and empty
Is this life or death?
It has to be life because
I just took another breath

I write as I wait
Listening to all the mean things
I’m silently begging
For my phone to ring
For it to play our song
To hear your voice
But it never will
Because of our choice

They’re fighting again
As she takes another drink
The house goes silent
And then my heart begins to sink

As the screams begin again
And I feel so alone
This is just a house
Never been a home

You comfort me
Whisper you love me, but it’s not real
No matter how much I hear it
Or that it’s true, you I can feel

I write as I wait
Listening to all the mean things
I’m silently begging
For my phone to ring
For it to play our song
To hear your voice
But it never will
Because of our choice

They fight again
And it brings me to tears
As I realize
All of my fears

I’m here without you
And I’m so alone
I need you with me
‘Cause I’m so alone

Come bring me home with you
Because I need you here tonight
I won’t make it through
Just one more fight

I write as I wait
Listening to all the mean things
I’m silently begging
For my phone to ring
For it to play our song
To hear your voice
But it never will
Because of our choice

I smile as my phone rings.
