Comme d'habitude

I wake up and nudge you
You don’t wake up like usual
I pull the blanket up on you
I’m scared you’ll be cold like usual
My hand brushes your hair
Almost against my will like usual
But you turn your back to me
Like usual

So I get dressed real quick
I leave the room like usual
All alone I drink my coffee
I’m running late like usual
Quietly I leave the house
Everything’s gray outside like usual
I’m cold, I pull up my collar
Like usual

Like usual, all day long
I’m gonna pretend
Like usual I’ll smile
Like usual I’ll even laugh
Like usual, finally I’ll live
Like usual

And then the day will fade away
I’ll come back like usual
You’ll be out
Not back yet like usual
All alone I’ll go to bed
In this big cold bed like usual
I’ll hide my tears
Like usual

Like usual, even at night
I’m gonna pretend
Like usual you’ll come home
Like usual I’ll wait for you
Like usual you’ll smile at me
Like usual

Like usual you’ll undress
Like usual you’ll lie down
Like usual we’ll kiss
Like usual

Like usual we’ll pretend
Like usual we’ll make love
Like usual we’ll pretend.
