By The Bed Lyrics - Phantom Planet - Phantom Planet

Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed 

Oh, she seemed much happier then 

I sat by her side and I couldn't help but cry 

I was here for a reason and I 

Finally understood and my oh my 

Could only ask myself why oh why? 

Can't we talk this through and make things right? 

Oh, I'd sure as hell like to try 

Right about this time she opened her eyes 

And asked how long I had been there 

Well, my tongue was tied I said nothing, I just stared 

She said, "Oh, I didn't think you cared" 

Well, I wasn't ready for what she said next 

She said, "There is nothing else that you can do 

No, you can't understand what I'm going through 

And if the world has changed, well, I'll be damned 

Oh, 'cause I'm no good at being brave not even on the better days 

And there are things we cannot save no matter how hard we try"
