I haven’t smoked in two years
I never had the thought
That you might not be waiting
For me to come home
I try hard to remember
The time and how it relates to you
If it’s eight in the morning
Is it two to you?
You could never know the pain I’m hiding from
No, you would never make it through
I have my doubts if even I am a stronger than you
Are you strong enough for two?
I can’t seem to find fire
And the room is cold
Is New York as warm as a fireplace
On November 4th?
I don’t know if I look out my window
On a different road
I can see if it’s raining or snowing by you
I have no way to know
You could never know the pain I’m hiding from
No, you would never make it through
I have my doubts if even I am a stronger than you
Are you strong enough for two?
When will I see that you love me
When will I see that you care
I have to admit that it’s a little unfair
I haven’t smoked in two years
I never had the thought
That you might not be waiting
For me to come home
I’m not drunk, but I’m drowning my sorrows
For this I like to be alone
That said, I haven’t had many callers
Not one, and I should know
You could never know the pain I’m hiding from
No, you would never make it through
I have my doubts if even I am a stronger than you
Are you strong enough for two?
