News Is Getting Old

from With Strangers by Rose Droll

/

lyrics

I’m tired and I’m getting cold
I turn the heater up, I recognize I’m getting old
I wake up with a sore neck
Take a tylenol to forget

My head is fucking killing me
I didn’t even drink
I’m paying through the nose now
For shit that I don’t even know about

When I kinda wanna end it
I know my thoughts have descended
Guess it’s time to phone up Helen
I could use a session or two or a fucking million

But I don’t wanna call her
It’s been too long since I saw her
I don’t think she’s mad at me
But I bet she’s disappointed

Bet she doesn’t even think twice
About her clients from a past life
But even I don’t really think that
Maybe she would like to take me back

I felt like we were married
Sometimes I just wanted to lie
She saw into me like a hot knife
Would sit and watch me while I cried

I could tell when she was tired
And when she didn’t give a shit
She could tell when I was nervous
She knew what I was trying to forget

I love her like a mother
I can’t even pretend
Now I feel guilty cause I want her to miss me
When probably all I really need are better friends

I felt like we were married
Guess that’s the kind of wife I’d be
Weird love, enough is never enough
And when the fuck is it appropriate to leave

How can I have an attachment
To someone just because they listen
Guess I might fall in love with anyone
Who vows to validate my feelings instead of dismiss them

I didn’t even tell her
What she probably needed to know
But she planted what I have her
I sit back and watch it grow

She hugged me over Christmas
I wanted her to say
That she loved me and missed me
And didn’t want me to go away
