I'm so used to
singing a note
no one else can hear
it's like I'm screaming
underwater
and no one's ever there

stu
          mbl
                     ing
over my own words
what you said really hurt
but I can't cry:
                        :
                        :
                        :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­
or feel any pain

so I choke it down
and say
"oh, okay."

Don't fall in love and your heart will thank you
when it doesn't shatter and break into
          two,
                        three,
                                          a thousand parts.
