Olivia, In a Separate Bed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So this is how it ends
In separate beds
A wall between us
And this is how it dies
Separate our lives
And hope it heals us

[Bridge 1]
I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
And the woman I wagered
Won't look at me right now
Not now

[Verse 2]
I know I've been like a house cat
Give me this, give me that
And I know I'll be okay
But beg for my attention
Or work from my affection
I just stare and walk away

[Refrain 1]
How can I show you
I'd do all I could do
To show you I adore you?
Olivia

[Pre-Chorus]
And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes

[Chorus]
Oh, Olivia
I still love you
And I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
Common madness
Why this wasted life?
Come to me

[Interlude]
*Humming*

[Bridge 2]
The photographer is lucky
Does he even know my name?
Does he know I'd give it all up
If I only could be here?

[Refrain 1]
But I used all my chances
And a few after that
Now I'm floating in the ashes
Olivia

[Pre-Chorus]
And the days go by
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes

[Chorus 2]
Oh, Olivia
I still love you
And I know I will
'til I die
And this feels like
Common madness
Why this wasted life?
Come to me
