Writing these words in the rain
Still writing your name on my window
You’ve only gone two streets away
Two streets away and only god knows

And I’m screaming your name to the letter
But no ones home
And I’m trying so hard to be better
To be alone

I’m painting the colours I seek
I’m painting our love in a still life
Now you’re standing up as I kneel
Still wielding the pain like a steel knife

And I’m screaming your name to the letter
But no ones home
And I’m trying so hard to be better
To be alone
All alone

I’m biding my time but in vain
I’m biding my time through the tears
Though I’m trying but nothing’s the same
I’m letting you go as the wind blows us away

And I’m screaming your name to the letter
But no ones home
And I’m trying so hard to be better
To be alone

And I’m screaming your name to the letter
But no ones home
And I’m trying so hard to be better
To be alone
