We sit separated by the parking brake The car on hold, exhaust choked up Like the words that won’t come out How do I bring myself to say that The park is silent and the air musty And so are we; a million tissues lie around Like a flower bed of scrunched up lilies It’s getting warm and I get out But the words don’t I offer an olive branch It’s not quite the same thing All I do is cover the gun with a pillow To muffle the sound when I pull the trigger The bullet still hits. The bullet still Hits Maybe it was foolishness coupled With regret. I bring myself to say The greatest lie that I shouldn’t But we are both tired and I really want to go I bring myself to say I don’t Love you.

How to say goodbye
We sit separated by the parking brake The car on hold, exhaust choked up Like the words that won’t come out How do I bring myself to say that The park is silent and the air musty And so are we; a million tissues lie around Like a flower bed of scrunched up lilies It’s getting warm and I get out But the words don’t I offer an olive branch It’s not quite the same thing All I do is cover the gun with a pillow To muffle the sound when I pull the trigger The bullet still hits. The bullet still Hits Maybe it was foolishness coupled With regret. I bring myself to say The greatest lie that I shouldn’t But we are both tired and I really want to go I bring myself to say I don’t Love you.
