At dawn, the house is quiet. The sun peers in a window and reaches for the untouched bed. Out on the balcony a restless man awakens from his threadbare sleep, his face streaked by tears.

That’s not the whole story
Well it scares me anyway
I don’t know what I need to hear
To make me stay

I don’t know why
We persevered
This time
It stops right here

Cupid fired an arrow
Without taking aim
I feel no fear
And I feel no pain

A man jumped into the water
And didn’t try to swim
I just held my breath
I didn’t do a thing

Don’t worry, I won’t come around
I remember all the rules
Whatever you think I am these days
I hope I’m not a fool

Playing out the scene
From every broken dream
We haven’t talked about it
But you’re acting like we did
