___
one minute you are the love of my life
the next you are the crumbs on my floor
and the sirens in my head
I don't blame you for your faults
you can be so distant when I'm only
an inch from your face to mine
the stitches on my legs are breaking
and I've thought about running
from time to time
I don't know if I can get away
do you love me enough to say more
than what you've been swallowing
throughout the years as they pass and go

I go
do you want to leave yet?

I go for broke and you are my only gamble
you give me **** for roses and laughs for aches
I've never wanted to be so distant
than I am now
I'm pulling myself back to,

how, how,
how?
a funny word I said again to myself
how
am I here again
