Song Description

Shell-shocked by breakup.

Lyrics

Sheltered in a booth with pencil and paper
Wearin' at the truth, wearin' out the tip of my eraser
Just can't prove to myself I've a fool
Can't believe my heart could be so cruel

'Cause we were one, now we're undone into two
We were an us, now we're just a me and a you

And I'm sitting here with hurt and bewilderment
Wondering what we were dreaming and of
But I supppose it should really come as no surprise at all
Nothing ever quite adds up in the aftermath of love

I can't fathom the attraction of being just a fraction
of what I was with you
I got a negative reaction to this subtraction
I'm so much less minus you

'Cause after all we've to each other
Parents, children, siblings lovers
This life alone leaves logic skewed
No matter how I twist it I'm just screwed

So I'm sitting here with hurt and bewilderment
Wondering what we were dreaming and of
But I supppose it should really come as no surprise at all
Nothing ever quite adds up in the aftermath of love

I stand up, hand off some coins and bills
Think of running for the door but my poor heart is standing still
Now with nothing left but lots of time to kill
I still won't be alone I will

Walk home with hurt and bewilderment
Wondering what we were dreaming and of
But I supppose it should really come as no surprise at all
Nothing ever quite adds up in the aftermath of love
