You'Re My Wallpaper

It’s the weekend
And my weak begins
I can’t pretend
That your memories fill my lungs

My knees are bruised
My inner eye opens
I follow the wind
As it blows through memories’ curtains…

Chorus 
I’m lost…in a sea of tears
Can’t you see me
‘cos you’re all I see…you’re my wallpaper
I lie in bed and you cover my ceiling
I look in the mirror
And I see your disappointment
I close my eyes
And the thought of losing you is a torment

It’s Sunday morning
Saturday was a blur
It used to be church we’d be going
But I sit making up stories that come Monday I’ll share

We used to host
The fanciest Sunday lunch
We used to boast
About how we loved each other so much

But now…

I’m lost…in a sea of tears
Can’t you see me
‘cos you’re all I see…you’re my wallpaper
I lie in bed and you cover my ceiling
I look in the mirror
And I see your disappointment
I close my eyes
And the thought of losing you is a torment

Oh babe, if you knew maybe
That I’m a broken man
Wondering where you could be
Drowning and self-resuscitating, but I go back down

I thought I heard you in the bathroom
I miss you so much…I’m losing touch
You laughter haunts this home
The decor is your touch…oh babe your touch

it Monday morning
And my weak ends
The sun is shinning
Going through the days and nights until the week ends
