how many times have i fallen for this
draw me in, clean me out
push me away

or was i the one pushing (pulling too hard)

i just wish i could hug you once
just once
i think i could die

but i don't even listen to my heart anymore
i just scream it out
bang on the keys
scream

that's all i've got
i work and work
i feel so sluggish with love

yeah, i haven't done this in a while
how else do i say it

i wonder why i told you everything
i wonder why i can't tell you anything
i wonder why you won't even talk

is your problem the same as mine?
or am i just totally out of touch?

i realize, i realize now exactly why i have done what i have done.
it's absolute

{
dropping
i felt like a piece of dust
captured in a moment
falling forever
but i can't even move

what do i say to this
i called her on the phone
but it was all falling

like rotten wood
i just splintered up
broken in two with indecision
i said it unwittingly

but was it any less true?
}

so how
dec
im
ate

this is so goddamn awful
i can't say a word
i can't say a word.
