The 9ths

Lyrics

You call in tears, our nightly ritual
And I'm here in the middle again
I want to ask 'cause it's habitual
Why she gets to hurt without care

It's just unfair
To do all this work
To not get the love
But feel all the hurt
It's just not right
To Pick up the slack
When all you want
Is to be wanted back
It's just unfair

There are no lies left to tell you
And I'm out of stories to tell
It hangs in the air, words left unsaid
Just another Hurt and lonely goodnight
Goodnight, tonight

It's just unfair
To do all this work
To not get the love
But feel all the hurt
It's just not right
To Pick up the slack
When all you want
Is to be wanted back
It's just unfair

The call ends, the feeling remains
Nothing has happened, cold silence stays
I taste my tears; what can I say
It doesn't matter, it's always this way

It's just unfair
To do all this work
To not get the love
But feel all the hurt
It's just not right
To Pick up the slack
When all you want
Is to be wanted back
It's just unfair
