Its cold outside
And the paints peeling off of my walls
Theres a man outside in a long coat
Gray hat, smoking a cigarette
Now, the light fades out and Im wondering
What Im doing in a room like this
Theres a knock on the door and just for a second
I thought, I remembered you
So, now Im alone
Now, I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U.s
And things that I just dont understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I dont think it meant anything to you
So, I open the door
Its the friend that Id left in the hallway
I say, Please sit down
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask but are friends electric?
Mines broke down and now Ive no one to love
So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and Im lonely, and I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight, so its time to leave
You see, it meant everything to me
Mines broke down and now Ive no one to love
Mines broke down and now Ive no one to love
