boy i'll bet you didn't catch that
that sucks
it did
it also could have made you wiser

i know i know
you're a little late to the show
you're not letting me go

tape the tapes up tight
throw them in the light
dare you to remember
no?
then how about you just surrender?

when you look at his perfect face
daydream
i'm there
i'm the one squeezing your wrists tighter

he knows he knows
you're a little late to the show
you're doing it too slow

dare you to remember
no?
then how about you just surrender?

say you will be with me
if only to kill me
don't even joke about that

christ, can't you stop talking about feelings?
because when your chips are down 
all you have left are feelings

so when you commit suicide
will you cry 
for the past escaped
or the future erased?

keep coming up with those words
hope you find a use for them
before you silence them 
and they fade like your eyes 
into the floorboards 
when i tell you
i'm never coming back

you got my best words
you got my worst words
forgot the first words
that's not what i heard

our love was unstable
your cards on the table
no service
no labels
no power
no cable
i was left standing
you were not able
