And I'll add this to the list of things that make my bones ache
I just want to give it a go but everything is happening so slow
Dissatisfaction is never displaced when it comes to me
Stop raising your standards so high because I'm tired of having to say goodbye
I don't want my cheeks to turn soggy because I couldn't make yours not
It wasn't my job to take care of you and I've been having such a difficult time taking care of myself that I'm not sure I could handle feeling at fault for not upholding unspoken obligations you passed to my shadow when I was turned around and my eyes got blinded by the sun
Let's start over
I never meant to make you smile when I saw you because I didn't think you'd give it back to me when I gave you mine
But see somehow I'm always off track
This night keeps dragging on and it's been repeating the same tired song
You say love like it's more than a word but there's too many feelings inside me to place what I feel for you in a mere four letters
Maybe I'm scared to say it because I don't think it's real but you make it eloquent and fluid and alive and I never thought I'd say it but I don't want it back this time
I'll give and give and give until I'm all used up and empty but I'm not ready to die don't make me tell you I was never alive
I don't want to give it back you're going to put me off track and take it right back after it's there and then it's gone and it's still the same tired song
I'm sorry I could never just shut my mouth and play along
