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
