I’m waiting for the corners to stop turning
Like the way her lips part before she breaks your heart
I just wish something felt more like home
And less like a broken glass against another door frame
Some things never change but I wish you would
You’ve broken everything I’ve ever poured myself into
And I know they say that there is no point
In crying over clocks that spin in the wrong direction
I’m sick of clawing at the walls you built around me
Tell me one more time that this is my life and these are my decisions
Maybe if you hadn’t blinked I would have believed you
So now I realize just how long I’ve been standing here
Cold on the curb under a traffic light that never turns green
I’m afraid I was holding the map upside down
Whenever I close my eyes I’m back with you so far away from here
And while the words may never pass my lips
I do miss you and I wish I could tell you it was only half my idea
But if the only way we could be together was to be alone
Should we have ever been at all
