Armchair Cynics

Key chain dangles out of the door

As the last scene is played out

Between you and me

And you ask me to leave



And I want you to say (this can get better)

And I know myself (I can do better)

And I want to say (this can get better)

Better than it's been



'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing

Only this time it's us

And we're counting on a surprise ending

Only this time it never does come

It never does come



These days you throw blame around the room

With some clothes into a suitcase

How I'd love

To wipe that look off your face



And I want you to say (this can get better)

And I know myself (I can do better)

And I want to say (this can get better)

And then you slam the door in my face



'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing

Only this time it's us

And we're counting on a surprise ending

Only this time it never does come

It never does come



And I want you to say (this can get better)

And I know myself (I can do better)

And I want to say (this can get better)

Better than it's been



'Cause it feels like it's a movie about losing

Only this time it's us

And we're counting on a surprise ending

Only this time it never does come

It never does come
