Every night I toss and turn
Racing to catch sleep
That runs faster than me
Because of you
Every morning while I shave
I put on my “don’t give a fuck” mask
That face I show the world
Because men don’t hurt
Men don’t yearn
Men don’t regret
Or so the story is told
Because of you
Every day I try to focus
On other things
Like life, and moving on
While that voice whispers
In the back of mind
And that ache pushes
At the back of my heart
Because of you
Out of sight, out of mind
Is a motherfucking lie
The voice and the ache just won’t die
I’ve run out of ways to ask myself why
Because I never get an answer
Like I didn’t get one from you
All that being said
I’ve come to the conclusion
That there is no answer
Because you’re Eve’s daughter
Which means that the best
Will never be good enough
Because you always want more
You’re always looking for the next thing
Wanting it to be better than the last
Well, good luck with that
So because of you
I might have to deal
With the voice that won’t stop whispering
And the ache that won’t fade away
But I also know baby, that one day
You’ll look back and wish that you had
What you used to have
Because of me
