[Verse 1]
It’s so far gone you can’t see it if you’re squinting but still talk about it half of the day
When it’s hurting close the curtains
You’ve got to feel it but you don’t got to say

[Chorus]
9 hours of mourning in the milky way
Her flat’s got curtains and a mezzanine
I guess it’s going to waste
And as the feeling fades
You couldn’t give it away
Better it’s going to waste

[Verse 2]
It’s so far gone that it’s barely in the background like I left the TV playing again
Something different steals the picture but I just pull myself back to it again
When it’s hurting keep it hurting
And I can prove how much I care till it fades

[Chorus]
9 hours of mourning in the milky way
Her flat’s got curtains and a mezzanine
I guess it’s going to waste
And as the feeling fades
You couldn’t give it away
Better it’s going to waste

[Chorus (Variation)]
9 hours of mourning in the milky way
Her flat’s got curtains and a mezzanine
I guess it’s going to waste
And as the feeling fades
I couldn’t give it away
Better it’s going to waste

But I guess it’s going to waste
And as the feeling fades
I couldn’t give it away
I guess it’s going to waste
Better it’s going to waste
Better it’s going to waste
Better it’s going to waste
