That good love thing inside her Suddenly stops Replaced Hollow It's a physical feeling Not again She leaves their bed and runs to the kitchen She must be thirsty No? She frantically looks around and tries Any logical thing To fill this pit It feels real. Like hands clawing at air inside her chest. Will you help me feel better? It hurts Can you help me feel better? It feels sick He looks at her A look she's seen before And this won't be different And she knows he can't help her. She leaves again. You were wonderful. She's sorry. Thank you for trying. She's broken. I have to go now. She breaks you too. But she knows you will heal. They all do.

When Love Won't Penetrate
That good love thing inside her Suddenly stops Replaced Hollow It's a physical feeling Not again She leaves their bed and runs to the kitchen She must be thirsty No? She frantically looks around and tries Any logical thing To fill this pit It feels real. Like hands clawing at air inside her chest. Will you help me feel better? It hurts Can you help me feel better? It feels sick He looks at her A look she's seen before And this won't be different And she knows he can't help her. She leaves again. You were wonderful. She's sorry. Thank you for trying. She's broken. I have to go now. She breaks you too. But she knows you will heal. They all do.
