I swallow hard because I know
That what comes next will hurt
(You more than me)
I bite my lip to try to stop it from shaking;
The teeth have broken the skin
And the blood tastes cold to me
After all those nights you kept me warm
I'd hold my breath just to hear you sleep
I must admit I saw it coming...
The air between us had gotten harder yet to breathe
I'd run away if I could help it
But I can't remember to forget your face
You can say my heart has changed
But it's my will you've beaten down
I'd kiss you now, but I fear my caustic tongue would only
Serve to salt your wounds
You are as beautiful as ever
Yet I'm starting to resent your smile
Because it's k**ing me to say this
But I'm dying inside to leave
It's a place we've never been
It's a waste to keep it in
It means little to you but the world to me
