I came to bring your cup of tea But I discovered that you'd fled! I'm sure I locked you in that room... Or was that me instead? Ha! I bet you think you've won Laughing from some corner Of this thickly padded cell At me crying like a mourner Why did you leave me here Surrounded by these crowds There's hundreds trapped with me In a small room lined with clouds Sorry to burst your bubble But I guess that I'm the real winner! I'm the underdog in this city! I'm the angel and the sinner! It's so quiet now I'm all alone Not even you by my side I tell the doctors about you too But they told me you'd died More than that, they say it was me That plunged the knife into your chest I'm sorry but I don't remember The blood across your breast I hammer my fists into the walls Then gouge my skin till it bleeds I roll around sobbing on the floor When I think of my misdeeds They say I suppress the memories And scream incoherent words I know how you can sing, my star So sweetly like the birds Sing me to sleep, tell me the truth Where have you gone my love? I feel so angry deep inside! How dare you leave, my dove! No doctor, thank you, I'm just great I don't need your help, I'm fine Why thank you nurse, I like that jacket I swear it looks like mine! You want me to wear it? Really? And stop tearing out my hair? Why yes of course, whatever you wish Just mind that corner there. Why you ask? It's nothing much It's just my wife playing hide and seek She's toying with my brain, dear nurse She likes me mild and meek!
