I tried to tell you
I wasn’t pulling through
That the weight was getting too great
Always me and never you
If I’m in the way, why don’t you get out of my face?
While I’m stuck picking up the blood all over the place
Setting the stage while you close the cage
It’s never enough, it’s just hurry up and wait
Doesn’t have to be so tough that it twists up both our faces
We both know that this isn’t just a phase
Stuck on the corner, stuck on the staircase
We both know there’s no growth if we’re both always looking away
Gotta have the sun if we don’t want to stray
It’s only begun so put your best cards away
The webs we’ve spun are stitching up the space between us
Static on the phone, keeps pulling us  away
Patterns unfold, I’ll never let it go to waste
