Lyrics

In your pockets I found prescription drugs
Ticket stubs to movies I never saw
The perfume I never wear you swear
You bought for me was stuffed inside a drawer
Neon signs are flashing casting shadows on the floor
You've wiped away the kisses that were on your face before

Chorus:
Waking up beside a stranger
Was never strange to you
I've swallowed all your stories
What else could I do
Now you wake up with a stranger
Lying next to you
Lying next to you

Waking up beside a stranger
Waking up beside a stranger
Waking up beside a stranger

For years I've been putting up with it
Now your business trips last longer than they used to
At home you never phoned now it's just
Voicemail. never you
I lie awake and stare up at our wedding photograph
It spends more time with me than you a gilt- framed epitaph

Chorus:
Waking up beside a stranger
Was never strange to you
I've swallowed all your stories
I've learned a thing or two
Now you wake up with a stranger
Lying next to you
Lying next to you
