Tell me what you expected
All the stress became too much
I thought I was strong enough to handle
Sadness breaking when we touch
The memories are tainted now
Frame after frame, pictures taken
Showing same smiles we've always had
But looking back pain awakens
Can't help but pick apart each scene
Stare at our frozen expressions
Trying to figure what really went on
After burning fateful make-out sessions
I guess I will never know
Probably less agony that way
Think I rub salt into my own wounds
Reopen them every dreaded day
Haven't I suffered enough?
Accepted much heartache at your hand?
Never thought we would be here today
I don't expect you to understand
It was my fault you thought I wouldn't leave
Allowed you to push me aside, disjoint
Of course you were sure I'd stay forever
But each person has a breaking point

Can't help but pick apart each scene

Probably less agony that way
Think I rub salt into my own wounds
Reopen them every dreaded day
Haven't I suffered enough?
Accepted much heartache at your hand?

It was my fault you thought I wouldn't leave
Allowed you to push me aside, disjoint
Of course you were sure I'd stay forever
But each person has a breaking point
