"the feelings tick away"

What happened to the feelings you had,
when you thought I drowned in the lake?
I felt so loved,
hysterical with no phone,
my clock can't make time,
why did you cry?

Now you poke holes in my raft,
leave it in the yard,
why did you cry?

Left me with a phone bill,
drove away,
sold my car,
you took it that far,
why did you cry?

With the clock ticking that won't stop,
when you lie in the bed,
in which you will die,
hysterical with no phone,
will you cry,
to know that I'm gone?
