[Verse 1]
It's sitting by the overcoat
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also reach, she said, for no one else but you
'Cause you won't turn away
When someone else is gone

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, hey, it's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Hey, well, it's me
And I can't get myself to go away
Oh, God, I shouldn't feel this way, now
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me

[Chorus]
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
Oh no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day
Always, ain't that right?
