why I don't stay the night

I rolled over and looked at her,
said, "baby, why won't you stay
because my love
has an expiration date
and I'm just waiting for you
to cash in your emotional investment
when I expire,"

so I stroked her hair and sighed,
running my fingers through infidelities
that blossomed on a wan face
that knew better than to fall in love,
because baby, we all die
alone

and baby, you're on your own

but my spirit
will always be two steps behind you
