Yesterday's a by-line, words upon a page
Tomorrow is a deadline, sudden, and it's strange

Hard to believe you ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe you ever would leave

Nowhere to go, can't sit still, look for motive in the time that I kill
Thinking up ways to fill up my empty days, to fill up my empty days

Chorus:
Hard to believe, you'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe, you'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe

(Instrumental break)

Love is such a fine line, the finest line I've known
But sorrow is no life-line, when you're all alone

Hard to believe you ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe you ever would leave

Can't sleep a wink, up all night
The truth hurts, you know it cuts like a knife
Thinking up ways to fill up my empty life, to fill up my empty life

chorus repeats 2x
