aren’t you afraid to hold it,
it’s weaker than us
you know it
divides, it rusts
we’ve seen it happen
to others we know
it only gets smaller
until it goes
neither you nor I
show it much love
I lie and say I hate it
you lie and say you’re done
oh we’ll be sorry
won’t we,
half a year from now
or will we be stuck somewhere else?
I hope I see you happy
don’t I
in your better home
or will I go and want you for myself?
I told you we shouldn’t have gone this far
all we’ve got to show for it, is a shrinking heart
everything is spilling out, and it won’t even stain
how can I remember you if you’re not to blame
and you say it’ll be easy
we’ll just count to three and
leave
but what if I mess up
and I keep holding onto your sleeve?
‘cause I don’t know how
to end it well
so if we’re gonna do it
it better hurt like hell
