lyrics

Freckles on your nose in the morning light- you’ve got no makeup on, you’ve got no disguise- I’ll see you the way morning kisses your eyes as I pull the blankets from over your head; as morning pours in your drowning in the new day- parts of you who love me yesterday are still asleep. You, who love me yesterday, she is still asleep. I think she should've woke by now. The secrets that you told me, whispered in the dark. Did you think that I was someone else? I don’t know. I’m not sure who you thought I was was. Last night I was too drunk to lie to you when you asked me if I loved you. With your body under mine I studied you face- the light the snuck from behind the blinds was enough to let me see- my words were cover with weed and alcohol when I was able to reply; you’d already fallen asleep. You, who love me yesterday, she is still asleep. I think she should've woke by now. The secrets that you told me, whispered in the dark. Did you think that I was someone else? I know I’m replacing someone else. Last night I was too drunk to lie to you when you asked me if I loved you. Does it matter if I loved you?
