i remember it like yesterday, rather, week or two ago
i said i can't, no wait, she said you really ought to go
denied and bargained, screamed and cried
regretted calls but never lied
we were children then, all our time to take
but **** that, we're older now, and only phones will break

skip a chapter, maybe two, and go back to the start
time distorting to pass time, love life being smart
i have no words, no grains of sand
not a ******* thing in this whole land
i was a child then, all my time to take
but **** that, i'm older now, and only cars will break

waiting on impatient tables, waiting on impatient life
waiting on some therapist to figure out my strife
along came someone, someone new
someone random, someone blue
i was a child then, all my time to take
but **** that, i'm older now, and only lungs will break

i could say i'm doing fine but you know that's just a line
and lines are better kept for that **** screenplay of mine
i'll finish it, in all's good time
and come up with one more good rhyme
you say we're children now, we need more time to take
i guess we're not too old for these ******* hearts to break
who doesn't love a good breakup poem
