Eatin' My Heart Out
(Songs From a Poorly-Soundproofed Room - 2004)
* * *
Sunrise is my breakfast
For lunch, I just eat sand
It's nice that way, because then
I don't have to wash my hands
For dinner, I go hungry and
I surely have no doubts
I'd rather sup with you
Instead of eatin' my heart out
CHORUS:
Eatin' my heart out
I'm eatin' out my heart
'Cause it's been so long, since you've been gone
And we first were apart
So I tear my hair, and I gnash my teeth
People hear me scream and shout
But I'd behave much better if I supped with you
Instead of eatin' my heart out
Darlin', you've been gone
For nearly two full years
In all that time, my only friends
Have been the moonlight and my tears
I wish that I could eat my words
And instead say, "Be my spouse"
For your leavin's left me half a man
And turned this home into a house
CHORUS
