today was another waste of make-up

I put a face on, everyday

just incase, you get the chance

to pass by...

I always want to be beautiful in your eyes

I always wanna be beautiful in your eyes

 

and I'm like a sick puppy dog

lapping up crumbs

wondering where I fall on the rung

of your ladder....?

cause' you're top of mine

and I'm propping the pillows up

where you should lie

An, I'm hurtin,' tonight...

won't you tell me, it's all gonna be alright

​

chorus

​

cause I've got a black ballon

that's chasin' encasin'

following me tryin'a swallow me whole

like a stray black dog

feet under the table

comfortable and it won't run away home

like a black shadow

that's bigger than me

it might not be visible

but it's all I see...

oh, won't you come and stay with me?

Oooohhh.... but you can't hear me...

​

and I guess I've always known 

that it would be this way

don't think that I don't understand

you're a 'busy man....'

with a place, you call home

you don't spend so many hours alone

guess I'm just losing control

oh the distance, takes it's toll

​

​

My pillow boyfriend, doesn't have your heat

doesn't curl and unfurl beneath the sheets

he can't kiss and tell me, it's gonna' be alright

"goodnight"

a replica without your face or your hair

but I'm getting used to him....

cause' at times like this

he's always there....

​

chorus

​

when I've got a black ballon

that's chasin' encasin'

following me tryn'a swallow me whole

like a stray black dog

feet under the table

comfortable and it won't run away home

like a black shadow

that's bigger than me

it might not be visible

but it's all I see...

oh won't you come and stay with me?

Oooohhh.... but you can't hear me

​

and I'm like a sick puppy dog

lapping up crumbs

wondering where I fall on the rung

of your ladder....?

cause' you're top of mine

and I'm propping the pillows up

where you should lie

An, I know that I should just observe this

but hope for a woman like me

well it's dangerous

god I'm hurting tonight...

Oh tell me

everything's gonna' be alright

For now it's me, my Pillow boyfriend and I..

me, my pillow boyfriend and I
