I'm sitting at the diner all alone with my regrets
'Cause you've never been more beautiful than the day you left
The sad-smiled waitress asks me what I will choose
I try not to look in her eyes, they remind me of you
I'm sitting in the street waiting for a taxi cab
Just to get a ride back home takes all the cash I have
But when I finally get in I ask about his tattoo
He says that it's an angel but I swear it looks like you
And the rest of the drive is silent
We've both got nothing to say
I get out and shut the door
Like you did when you went away
That night I heard your footsteps cross the floor
Somehow they sounded off
I saw the light when you opened up that door
Next thing I knew you were gone
I just waited silently hoping you'd come back
Well I guess I was wrong
Now yours is the only face I see and I'm an insomniac
And I haven't seen you in so long
I step out of the taxi onto the blank cement
It feels just like me since the day that you left
A woman on the street smiles a "how do you do?"
But I just keep on walking, she has the same sweatshirt as you
The apartment's always empty except the TV set
And on it plays some stupid show that I haven't seen yet
There's a letter on the door saying the rent is overdue
But I just keep on watching 'cause she cries just like you
And I sleep on the floor
My bed it's just too big
And I brush my teeth alone
Just like you always did
That night I heard your footsteps cross the floor
Somehow they sounded off
I saw the light when you opened up that door
Next thing I knew you were gone
I just waited silently hoping you'd come back
Well I guess I was wrong
Now yours is the only face I see and I'm an insomniac
And I haven't seen you in so long
I got up that morning 'cause I hadn't slept all night
And I turned off my alarm
I got dressed forlornly and left the house despite
The fact that I can't move on
So I hope I'll see you someday
But I know it's just a thought
In your mind you may think that I'm okay
You should know I'm not
I'm sitting at the diner all alone with my regrets
'Cause you've never been more beautiful than the day you left
