Stay
You always seem so far
Away
Even the bleached roads between us
Cannot keep these lies from drowning
Piece by piece
I don't want this to hurt you
I don't write this to hurt you
My hands fall down by broken sides
Bruised love handles telling their own
Version of what always happens
Stay
You don't have to rip away
Tearing what little fabric we still hold
Deafening, the aching numbness that follows
Silence
A sword wielded by an expert marksman
On your own time, sweet heaven hurry
Tensed like a bow string, ready
Stay
Never fade

Stay
You always seem so far
Away
Even the bleached roads between us
Cannot keep these lies from drowning
Piece by piece
I don't want this to hurt you
I don't write this to hurt you
My hands fall down by broken sides
Bruised love handles telling their own
Version of what always happens
Stay
You don't have to rip away
Tearing what little fabric we still hold
Deafening, the aching numbness that follows
Silence
A sword wielded by an expert marksman
On your own time, sweet heaven hurry
Tensed like a bow string, ready
Stay
Never fade
