Left in the corner collecting dust
Patiently waiting while my fingers rust
I was locked in the coffin case
Not even on display
As you fret my frets decay

You pick up your other and you strum away
I listen from the other room
Try to pull you out of tune

Thought I was everything you need
Thought at least you´d want to see it through
And I was caught in between
Giving up and calling out to you
Am I coming through?

Now you don´t even write the chords down
You don´t even play me anyhow anymore
Now you just keep cranking them out
Like you´re trying to numb yourself
With all this work but it´s just not working out

George and his lover they gently weep
But I don´t even get to breathe

I hardly make a sound
And I´m totally unwound, it´s like
All my flaws have become the things
That make you want to destroy something
And the reasons you started are lost
Now that the feeling has worn off

Thought I was everything you need
Though at least you´d want to see it through
Your voice follows me
You sing perfectly out of tune
I thought we had more time
I thought I could make it up somehow
I try to weave between the lines
I try to turn myself up loud
Can you hear me now?

Now you don´t even write the chords down

You don´t even play me anyhow anymore
Now you just keep cranking them out
Like you´re trying to numb yourself
And I´m just
A different drug, something that you took for granted
Another love that you abandoned right when
It starts to count you don´t even write the chords down
You don´t even play me anyhow
´Cause it´s only work and it´s just not working out
