Dark days, dark nights, dark moods
Winter chill with the frozen foods
He takes time to contemplate and drink his booze -
We all know those relationship blues.
It's been a month since they slept together
And for the last couple of nights, he's been crashin' on the leather
Breakin' dishes at the end of his tether
And sheds tears at the photos when moments were better.

"Where we going?", the question's on his lips
Together for years, but now there's holes in the script
Battling depression, try'na gain a grip
Now the water's overflowing...does he abandon the ship or what?
He's the type with pride
Class's it a weakness if he's open and confides
To the woman he loves - he's never doubted that
And yet that pride in his side is a factor to why the love will die

Gets right by throwin' himself into work
He feels he needs to leave but hates to see his woman hurt
He's runnin out of options - all they do is fight
Not quite the life he envisioned when he met her that night, ya know?
It had to be done, the cases are by the door
Time to say goodbye, he can't take no more
But he can't bring himself to have a face to face confrontation
He knows he did nothin' wrong.
Did he leave?
Well listen to the rest of the song...

Bright days, bright nights and moods
Is what she was trying to get and all she wanted to pursue
Through a stroke of luck, things, they began to look up
Yup, out the blue she was glued to the eyes of a dude who
Didn't look at her like all the rest do
And he wasn't equipped with pickup lines flatter than empty Crest tubes
Normally shy, he approached and - so astute -
With his remote control, he glanced around the room, then pressed "Mute"

So he could really get to know her, and for her, well, this was new -
To converse with a guy that wasn't an emotional buffoon
She had had a couple drinks, but even so, the way she giggled
Was so fucking refreshing that it shook her up a little
It had heated up so quickly, she wasn't sure how to feel
But she simply couldn't deny the chemistry was unreal
It was genuine and earnest -
It was just what she had wanted, same for him, so it soon became an occurrence.

Now, prior to this engagement, she
Had a fella' that would argue with her non-stop until they fell asleep
When they first got together, he would never chastise
But it didn't take long for that ship to capsize
He'd been drinking, thinking his thoughts and actions were no different
They were so different though, that it caused her to grow distant
So she called it off some time ago, despite all she invested
And yet, it appears that he left another message...
