Nils Lofgren - In the Room Lyrics

They say it's only love to give it up, give it up gracefully
But how could they understand just what you mean to me
Living alone again knowing I can't depend on your love
You've abandoned me
Yeah, I start feeling so out of tune
When I talk to people that ain't in the room

Bloodshot eyes can't see you
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room
Lies, lies, lies
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room

Hallucinate the new pretty boy at your side
Cut him up, beat him blue, crack his big head open wide
Promise he'll never see a love like you had with me
Curse him as I whip his worthless hide
Yeah, I start feeling so out of tune
When I talk to people that ain't in the room

Bloodshot eyes can't see you
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room
Lies, lies, lies
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room

Autumn trees in front of me disappear
Bluebirds singing overhead and I no longer hear

I guess it could be worse
I know I'm not the first and I still plan escape to sanity
Yeah, I look just like a sad cartoon
When I talk to people that ain't in the room

Bloodshot eyes can't see you
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room
Lies, lies, lies
Nah, you ain't in the, nah, you ain't in the room
