Lyrics
Oh every night I’m alone

Cause you forget me

And you rarely will come home

Do you regret me?

Oh, what am I doing?

Obviously losing

You look at me like I’m mere sawdust

Just lying on the floor

But I look at you like you’re stardust

Or maybe even more

You sweep me under the rug

Like you don’t need me

But to me you are a drug

Someone please free me

Oh, what am I doing?

Obviously losing

Losing my mind for you

You look at me like I’m mere sawdust

Just lying on the floor

But I look at you like you’re stardust

Or maybe even more

You’re the diamond of my eye

But you always pass me by

I always made you feel prized

But now I have recognized

That I don’t need you

And I never have

And if you asked why I left

I will say it’s all because

You look at me like I’m mere sawdust

Just lying on the floor

But I looked at you like you’re stardust

or maybe I was wrong
