La Dispute - Ten lyrics

I promised Colin I'd keep writing, and That's the only promise I've kept, but I have no regrets. Like Your empty mailbox? It doesn't bother me Not at all And I promised you I'd come visit soon Guess I should've made the trip, but Money's tight as rope and time too. And You know how it goes better than anyone There isn't ever much of anything we need or Think we do So I don't feel bad I don't feel bad And somewhere you cut me out Fall in love to rinse your mouth But it doesn't bother me at all I promised Colin I'd take off to you soon, on An old deck in Louisville, KY Four stories up, Six AM and Ten deep While they we're sleeping, and I said “Keep me in check, friend.” And he tried But I couldn't be And that small window closed, and I Never really kept writing either, just Stared downward at the page most times or Thought about it real hard And there must be something missing in me That she's there and I'm still here because That's messed up But I don't feel bad about it And somewhere you cut me out Fall in love to rinse your mouth But it doesn't bother me at all I have tried hard to stay hopeful in the moments They cut ropes to set you free I have always tried to point the finger elsewhere This time it points to me But it doesn't bother me at all Each chance to lock arms, to lie long in locked eyes And I failed to let go, to cut ties with my life But I'm torn, and reborn, see I died when you left But each word since that day was your name from my chest I am afraid But it doesn't bother me at all
