No Decision

the billboard says love never fails
 so I guess that it's just people that do
 and there are people failing left and right
 every night on the 10 o'clock news
 and every night there's a story
 that I just can't comprehend
 so I'll turn out all the lights
 now it's darker than it's ever been
 and the downtown traffic, the corner stores
 the streets all slick with gritty rain
 I could swear I've been here before
 cause every city looks the same
 now that everything's changed
 late night diner down on ross
 sitting in a corner booth
 I'd like to chat up the waitress
 but she's got too much to lose
 they're understaffed, she's overworked
 but her boss says it means more tips
 her brow is creased in concentration
 and I watch her chew a hole in her bottom lip
 and the downtown traffic, the corner stores
 the streets are slick with gritty rain
 I could swear I've been here before
 cause every city looks the same
 now that everything's changed
 and I remember when you told me
 it was me that you called home
 and I remember when I told you
 I wanted to be alone
 and I couldn't see how to stay
 I couldn't see how to go
 so I made no decision and I killed it
 in doing so
 and the downtown traffic, the corner stores
 the streets all slick with gritty rain
 I could swear I've been here before
 cause every city looks the same
 but everything's changed
