lyrics

We had a deal; I cook, you clean
Until one day one of us lies alone in our bed
As time went on, you began hiding the sheets
The house was a mess, but we were always well fed

We used to be on the same page, now we're in different books
I always took solace in the fact that something seemed wrong in every picture we took

Where I live now I hear sirens nearly every hour
It's just as well I never slept much anyhow
I always wanted to be a paramedic but I can't stand the sight of blood
Sometimes just wanting to help isn't enough

After time I moved on or I tried to at least, but complacency took all the good I had left
My new love was tidy, she kept things pristine
I thought things were fine, we were starving to death
I've come to believe we're all half-solved puzzles, searching for another to be complete
But each time that we try and the fit isn't right we lose another vital piece

And when so much is lost after years of attempts it's harder and harder to finish the fight
We can push, we can want it so badly, still in the end we'll never fit quite right

Where I live now I hear sirens nearly every hour
It's just as well I never slept much anyhow
I always wanted to be a paramedic but I can't stand the sight of blood
Sometimes just wanting to help isn't enough

And I don't hate you for blaming me, just like I don't blame you for...
And I don't hate you for blaming me, just like I don't blame you for hating me

(I don’t want to go) Are you there, are you there? I just want you to understand
(I don’t hate you for) for anything

And where I live now I hear sirens nearly every hour
It's just as well I never slept much anyhow...
