CYou've been lying in bed for a wEmeek now
CWondering how long it'll tEmake
CYou haven't spoken or looked at her in Emall that time
CIt's the easiest line you could Embreak

CShe's been going around her business as uEmsual
CAlways with that melancholy sEmmile
CBut you were too busy looking iEmnto your affairs
CTo see those tiny tears in her eDyes
