I bought a fake-ass T-shirt
Outside your favourite concert
Just to show you that I want you
But God knows I can't afford it
These days I cast no shadow
Playing my friend's piano
And all my songs sound dumb
'Cause they're all about you
But I keep writing 'em anyway
And the crowd keeps singing 'em every day
'Cause they don't know, they don't know
What the words mean, so they keep on going
But it breaks my heart to hear them singing your name
And every night's just another without you
In a room full of strangers singing about you
And it breaks my heart to keep on singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
I bought a book on grieving
And all the leaves turned brown and fell down
And I'm still not healing
'Cause I try to forget your name
But the crowd keeps singing it every day
'Cause they don't know, they don't know
What the words mean, so they keep on going
But it breaks my heart to hear them singing your name
And every night's just another without you
In a room full of strangers singing about you
And it breaks my heart to keep on singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway
They don't know, they don't know
What the words mean, so they keep on going
But it breaks my heart to hear them singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway (I think I'm gonna keep on)
