Comme D'habitude

I wake up and nudge you
You don’t wake up
As usual
I pull the blanket up on you
I’m scared you’ll be cold
As usual
My hand brushes your hair
Almost against my will
As usual
But you
Turn your back to me
As usual
So, I get dressed real quick
I leave the room
As usual
All alone I drink my coffee
I’m running late
As usual
Quietly I leave the house
Everything’s gray outside
As usual
I’m cold
I pull up my collar
As usual

As usual
All day long
I’m gonna play
At pretending
As usual
I’m gonna smile
As usual
I’ll even laugh
As usual
Finally, I’ll live
As usual

And then
The day will fade away
I’ll come back
As usual
You
Will have gone out
Not back yet
As usual
All alone
I’ll go to bed
In this big cold bed
As usual
My tears
I’ll hide them
As usual

As usual
Even at night
I’m gonna play
At pretending
As usual
You’ll come home
As usual
I’ll wait for you
As usual
You’ll smile at me
As usual

As usual
