a contradiction in terms
And you’re the last one to learn
If this is the worst it gets, I’ll place my bets
that you’re a gamble at best
on a quiet night you lose the light
but in the dark you’ll lose the fight
I’m cutting power lines.
I can’t have you, and I can’t be your friend,
so it’s over.
you’re selfish, you’re not sorry.
but I’m sorry for you.
you’re a sore sight for blind eyes
you cut your face and cut our ties.
It’s too early for ultimatums
But it’s too late to walk out the door.
If you have to end it, do it my way.
I’m falling asleep, you’re falling away
I lied when I said that it meant something more.
hey darling, did you know
that I set us up to fail
and everything I’ve done has been for myself
and did you know
you may be special to me
but you’re one of a million to everyone else
This is all that’s left of me
Waiting on a lie and a few false lines.
This is not who I wanted to be
There’s a hole in my heart for the things I’ve left behind
and the sacrifices I make
will leave broken hearts in my wake.
but I can’t stand the thought of waking up next to you.
I don’t want to remember the end of December.
quiet snow on quiet roads, and you
burning like the last of the embers.
