Oliver and Cangeleri

Lyrics

He wakes up in the morning
And eases out of bed
Pours a cup of coffee and lights a cigarette
The door locks behind him
The sun begins to rise
He leaves her a note
It’s all a pack of lies

His heart doesn’t feel all the pain he’s caused
His heart doesn’t feel much of nothing at all
He’d leave them alone at the drop of a hat
He’s never understood what it was he had
His heart doesn’t feel much of nothing at all.

She wakes up in an empty bed
And goes to check the child
Her pain is washed away
By her little baby’s loving smile.
She clings to the only thing
That gets her through each day
She pities him for what he’s missed
And what he’s thrown away.

His heart doesn’t feel all the pain he’s caused
His heart doesn’t feel much of nothing at all
He’d leave them alone at the drop of a hat
He’s never understood what it was he lacked
His heart doesn’t feel much of nothing at all.

What happens to a man when he fails to understand
Why things went wrong?
What happens to a woman
When she’s been hanging on for way too long?
The things he took for granted
All the seeds they planted
What does it matter if he’s too far gone?
