And still despite what she fails to say
They’ll keep on keep on pushing on like strangers
And still he tries to make himself believe
That it ever meant something
But there’s no try, there’s only do
And that he did
Tearing at the seams
Where nostalgia’s sewn to thought
One more stitch to come undone
Until this sweatshirt’s overwrought
While she crossed her heart
He just hoped to die
Ignored the writing on the wall
Now there’s needles in his eyes
Which makes it easier to see—they’re control freaks all the way
Don’t throw caution to the wind
No, put it in a vase
Keep it in the sun
Water it each day
Comforts away the pain
Of wanting something else
Of wanting something more
Anything else
Everything more
