Lyrics

Sometimes I sit and wonder about this spell that I'm under
Days are getting longer, I just can't pretend
That you're coming home soon, you're like a bird in the wind
The nights turn to winter since you've been away

The lonely teardrops I shed for you
Have lost all meaning as days stretch to months
When did you decide you would find a new path?
How did you come to know that ours would be lost

You cannot see I’m an opossum
The days with you have left me hanging by a branch
Why can’t you see that I am upside down
Forever in doubt and hanging by my tail

The summer nights have left me standing cold
My heart is broken, darling don’t you know
I saw you walking far away
I want to tell darling please, please stay

But in your heart I’m just another pest
Your feelings for me before are now your regret
It will never again be like it was back then
So I’ll lie down and play dead, then crawl back to my den

You cannot see I’m an opossum
The days with you have left me hanging by a branch
Why can’t you see that I am upside down
Forever in doubt and hanging by my tail

I remember standing by the road
Watching the lights rushing by, wishing I was home
On the other side was love, I wanted it so bad
Dared to cross, held my breath, and ran

But we all know how that was going to end
I didn’t have the skill or strength I needed to survive
My heart was crushed and shredded to a pulp
Thrown to the side of life, I’ll never try again

You cannot see I’m an opossum
The days with you have left me hanging by a branch
Why can’t you see that I am upside down
Forever in doubt and hanging by my tail
